This research aimed to evaluate the management of disposal of lubricating oil and its packaging in gas stations in the municipality of Terezópolis of Goiás - GO. Structured questionnaires for interviews with those responsible for managing these wastes and it was found that only two of the five active stations in the municipality performed the oil change were used. Two stations analyzed the lubricating oil is collected by contractor where recycling is conducted, but the packaging of the oil are intended for controlled municipality landfill, being treated as common waste. We notice that the stations do not comply with the legislation in its entirety, requiring inspections and discussion about the importance of proper waste treatment.
