    Oil disposal?

    This may be a stupid question but where does one go to dispose of used motor and transmission oil? Or is there a set way of disposing of it at home. Its starting to accumulate in the gargre.

    Sell it to boy racers and they will poor it on the road near an intersection for you to find later.

    pour it into an old tyre case. set fire to it in your back yard just after sunset. when you wake up, it'll all be gone.

    most city dumps have an oil facility, however if your stuck with only a bike like me you might need to get friendly with the rubbishtruck driver and ask him to drop it off for you

    Save it. In 50 years it might be more valuable than gold.

    If we knew where you lived (where the fark is "." anyway?), we could be more helpful.
    Most city waste transfer stations or dumps have an area for stuff like that, and many (like Auckland) have the 'Hazmobile' where you can take oil and other stuff for recycling or disposal. Alternatively, try your neighbourhood gargre, bike shop or workshop - ask them if it's alright to dump your oil in their waste oil container. They usually don't mind.

    I have an oil catcher thingie (technical term) and put the used oil into the new oil container once I've emptied it. Then whenever the Hazmobile is somehwere local(ish), I take the oil, and batteries or other stuff I have, and frop it off. Last time, I was behind a van owned by a guy who was probably a backyard mechanic or somesuch - he had most of the back of the van filled with identical 4 litre oil containers.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....
