Environmental Recycling Systems (ERS) was founded on a simple idea: there is real value in thrift. William Davis built ERS on the belief that small, practical actions, such as capturing the last usable drop of oil from a container, reflect personal responsibility and respect for the environment.
Our Philosophy
With a background as a farmer and merchant, Mr. Davis understood the importance of conservation and practical economy. He designed ERS motor oil recovery units (OSFs) not just as tools, but as reminders that thoughtful habits can reduce waste and improve efficiency in everyday work.
"As the principles of frugality and conservation begin to outshine modern-day waste mentality, a newly internalized, psycho-economic stimulus is born."
William Davis, Founder

Jay Leno meets with ERS founder William Davis to discuss the Environmental Recycling Systems Oil-Saver Funnel.
Why Choose ERS?
- Economical: Saving usable oil reduces waste and lowers operating costs.
- Ecological: Recovering oil before disposal helps reduce landfill impact and supports responsible resource management.
- Accountable: Using an OSF reinforces the idea that practical, disciplined habits can make a measurable difference.
