I thought CA didn't do this. I need to check w/ WM about this service.
Thanks d00dz. |
CA did do this, but it varies by locality.
I got my funnel when I called up and requested the service. |
Two 55 gallon drums. When full I call a recycler and he comes out to my house, sucks it out and PAYS ME $.50 a gallon for it.

My cat liter comes in cardboard boxes.
I reuse the jugs the oil comes in. Empty into car, pour used oil back in jug. Take it to the store and they take it back next time I buy oil. |
neighbor's yard

Has anyone else had trouble getting AutoZone/Kragen/O'Really to accept 5g buckets of oil? I've had a few parts desk monkeys refuse to take them saying that their "policy" won't let them take 5g at a time. They never seem to have a problem with the giant kitty litter tubs though.

I pour it back in these and carry them back to the parts store a few times a year.

If you weren't in California, you'd probably be able to find a farmer who goes through 8-10 of those 5 gallon buckets a year between oil and hydraulic fluid. I just burnt 6-7 of them that were in perfect condition I found in the back of the barn. |

I drink 3 a week, and don't throw them away. Oil changes covered for life. |
If you have anyone who lifts and uses commercial whey, the Optimum Nutrition 5 pound containers are like my ex. They have a big mouth and hold whatever you put in em.

We have a 300 gallon tank that an oil recycler gave us years ago for the exclusive rights to take the oil. They must have forgot about us or went under. Our new recycler is paying us for the oil. I think it is a bit less than $.50 for us though. Damn you Stein. :vash: Most auto parts stores will gladly take it these days. That old oil has value. |

here's where I store mine:
Over 200 million of the 1.3 billion gallons of waste oil generated in the U.S. yearly are not collected, but rather dumped illegally or accidentally into sewers, streams, drains, landfills and backyards: 200 million gallons is the equivalent of nearly 20 Exxon Valdez spills each year. One gallon of waste oil can contaminate up to one million gallons of fresh drinking water. One quart of waste oil can create a two-acre slick on surface water. 40% of the pollution in U.S. waterways is from waste motor oil.

I always pay someone else to change my oil. Costs about the same, and it's a dirty job with little reward... Besides if changed oil in hundreds if not thousands of cars, so I'm kind of over it.

I have do to the oil in the miata since there is not a lift low enough to get it up safely, and I'm barely lowered, haha. |
