Places to dispose of engine oil in Melbourne

[Cobez]

Gday all!

Was just curious to know if there was anywhere that anyone knew of in Melbourne, where i could dispose of old engine oil? My mechanic isn't too crash hot on the idea of letting me dispose of it at his workshop (rightfully so), so i was wondering if there was any kind of depot or the like that charge a fee to dispose of it safely for the general public.

Thanks!

most workshops will charge a $2 fee for 5 litres, depends how much oil your talkin about i suppose lol....
have a look in the phone book for oil recyclers and give them a call about it

my local tip takes it (tyabb), i usually collect 10-20 litres of it then take it down with one of those free tickets

Any tip will have a waste oil disposal bin. As for cost, can't help you there.

Ahhh ok i might check out the local refuse centre. I just assumed they wouldn't take it. I have about 30 or so litres LOL. I got a 25 litre drum and two 5 litre bottles.

Thanks guys!

Monash tip used to let you dispose of 20 litres for free at a time. Not too sure if they do it anymore.

First 30 litres is free, and it's 40 cents a litre after that. That will do nicely, and it's just up the road from me too. Thanks man!

As much of a joke as that is, i'll bet no one would notice even if someone really did that anyway. Crusty ass river.

Hey mate, if you live near in the norther suburbs, you can get rid of your oil (and from my visits there, as much oil as you want) at the Reservoir transfer centre.
Best of all, its free.

[Cobez]

Nah that's cool mate, the Monash Transfer Station is about 10 minutes from my place. Cheers anyway
