    Used oil!

    Hey guys,

    I've got maybe three 4L containers of used oil. If anyone here uses it for one reason or another you can come get it

    Having only a bike for transport severely limits my oil transport capabilities.
    Thought I'd try my luck here

    Put it in your empty milk bottles and place it at the bottom of your recycle bin...

    Supercheap take it away for free bro, usually a bin at the front of their stores. That's where I ditch all mine

    Most garages take it for free. It gets taken away for recycling ...

    May I ask exactly what places like Repco and Supercheap want with used oil?

    now you have had the serious replies, how about this for a Oil can be re-refined, Repco's and Supercheap's own brands will by this re-refined oil. That fact that oil can be recycled with no lose of quality is why so many object to paying to drop off a base resource to be sold back, like paying a bakery to take the flour so they can sell you a loaf of bread, or paying a green waste recycler to take your lawn clipping to turn into compost which they then sell to the garden centre.

    Salters come and pick it up. They do the same with our ships dirty oil and sludge. Must be some good money in it because the trucks they have are all fucking mint.
    I have brought re-refined oil plenty of times, isn't anything wrong with it.

    They take it back because it is the responsible thing to do as an oil seller. same reason they take batteries and dispose of them correctly. They then onsell the waste oil to the likes of Fulton Hogan who either use it for ashphalt or some such or it is refined slightly and used as fuel in large marine engines.

    Repco do not use re-refined oils, their housebrands are made by Penrite and Valvoline, dunno about supercheaps. There is a re-refining plant somewhere in NZ that is mothballed due to no government subsidys making it uneconomical apparently. Duckhams and ampol I think were the re-refined brands years ago. pretty good oil too.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    Or paying a whore to toss you off when you have two good hands of your own?
