    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!

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

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

    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.

    airstrike - well i dug it up cos i did a search looking for that info which was helpful to me... so I copied and pasted that info into the thread in case the link to that info ever changes, so it can be helpful to someone else if they do a search in future... you see?

    so you replied to a 10 month old thread dig-up to mock my post... wow that was helpful :)
