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?

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)

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

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

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
