Waste oil

[Wombles]

Ok... So I serviced my car the other day.
Now I have a thing of oil sitting in the garage.
Was just wondering where you guys would dispose of it?
If you just put it in old milk containers or something and throw it in the bin?
Or is there a place to take it to?

[redrags]

take it to your local waste management centre.. it is bad to throw it in the bin as it polutes the "environment" (even though its land fill)

[Wombles]

Hmm... Now I have work ahead of me. Lol.
Would have no idea where to look for them. Lol.

[Pub247]

the dump usually takes it check your local council website
Either that or you can bribe a mechanic to take it for you....

dig a hole in the corner of the yard

most councils will have somewhere you can take oil and paint just make sure its in a sealed container

or do what i do.. have almost 30 litres sitting in old bottles in your garage

just make sure its not in your garden

Dont ever just poor it in the ground. Dumping 1L of oil contaminates `1,000s of litters of water under ground. Contact your council on where to dispose of it. I have empty oil containers, and build up a stock of it then make one trip like once a year if that.

It comes from the ground so I say pour it back in there

Thats what i once said lol, but it really is not good after finding out the damage it does. But i guess its like anything, driving your car what damage it does, turning on your tv, not recycling etc etc. But since its water, and we all need clean water.

[Thomas1]

Yeah in all seriousness the best thing to do is take it to the tip. Most of them have a special area for waste oils.

[Drift_Clown_VN]

Spill it on a dead end road and chuck skiddzzzz on it lol.

You can dump up to 20L free with Monash Council, so dont know what your council has going. As has been said, try the council website or local tip.

[Troy5L]

i just go down the back of my 1 acre yard and dump it along the fence line

[Lumps of cheese]

Every tip will have a special oil disposal bin, that's the place to get rid of it.

Hahaha......

[Escape-The-Fate]

we pour it on our wood fence posts, keeps the termites away..otherwise we take it to the tip like has been said.

[hakhawk]

wombles, drop it in at my work, we have a big tank in the workshop for used oil.

[maldotcom2]

Chuck it over the back fence.

Your local tip will have a place to tip it in free of charge since they make money off it. I just keep it in the oil containers untill I have like 10 of them, then go pour it in. there's no other way to get rid of the horrible stuff, makes you realise oil should be left deep in the Earth where it belongs doesn't it

I hope you or any future generations never intend to eat anything grown on your property or you can say hello to heavy metal related deformities ^ this is not a good idea, do it right and take it to the container at the tip

I'll be the 100th person to say take it to you local tip. Every council has a website with information on what you can take to your tip or a link. Out local tip has a big liquid storage vat you dump your oil and stuff in at no cost. Don't chuck in the ground.
