    Used oil disposal in Welly?

    Does anyone know where you can drop off used engine oil for disposal in wellington? I've got the old oil from the last 3 or 4 oil changes sitting in containers downstairs but I want to get rid of it.

    Cheers

    Try ringing the Oil comapnies H.O's they have a list of gas stations that have oil recycle stations. Failing that check with your local mechanic - if they can't help ya then they'll tell who can.

    Ask the city council.
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.

    Sell it back to the oil companies in 20 years

    Keep quite everybody - don't let them know we have secret oil reserves

    Just checked, take your oil to the Southern Landfill and dump it at the "Hazardous Substances" station... Its supposed to be free of charge to do so, but I wouldnt be surprised to find out theres a charge...

    PM me if you get stuck, I'll get the guys in Wellington to take it off your hands as we have a truck that comes around and steals our used oil to sell back to Honda
