Receiving my premium

You will receive a message from Valorlub in the course of April following the year of collection because your collector has collected up to 3.500 litres of used oil from you in 2024. That is why you are entitled to a compensation.

The fixed fee for collections in 2024 is:

• from 0 to 1.000 liters: 165 euro
• from 1.001 to 3.500 liters: 180 euro

This premium for waste oil is paid by Valorlub, the management body for the take-back obligation for used oil.

What do you need to do to receive your compensation?
