Engine Oil Disposal

[Snoozin]

I've got about 50 or 60 litres of the stuff. Need to get rid of it!!!

Anyone know where I can ditch this crap? Aside from down the drain of course!

[Pies]

flush it down the toilet

Is there a landfill in your area? Our local one has a tanker you can empty your oil in.

[postfach]

race tracks usually have big tanks you can pour crap into

How long a period, the garage next to my work will take 10-15 litres a month for free. let me know if your interested, i will let you know where to drop it off

[Dell'Orto]

What landfills this? do they charge? BP in wainui used to have a big plastic tank you could dump all your old oil in.

try ring around some garages and workshops, ive seen a few around with big tanks - they probably make money out of selling it off since its worth gold

[Voyeur]

No most garages get charged for disposal. 13c litre last time i got charged. Try some of the big users (tractor companys, truck stops etc) you may be able to band together, and throw a dozen beer at one of the mechanics

Makes great and cheap weedkiller. Had 40 litres to get rid of and used it to kill all my weeds Also makes great bonfire accelerant

Just go and chuck it over the fence at ram-it, they have a huge tank for it . They have given tanks to all the wreckers that use them and will take it away for free. So if you are friends with wreckers go and see them.

I've always been there with a trailer load and took the oil too so not sure if you can just take oil.

Its between silverstream and stokes valley.

Porirua (Broken Hill) have the oil drop inside the tip, so charge you to leave oil. Bastards.

[Outlander]

Heard something from the guy who works next to us talking to my boss the other day, apparently there is a company around palmy that pays to take wate oil off of your hands, probably so no one disposes of it in an unsafe manner. Well at least thats what it sounded like, unsure of a name or anything though, but there are a few waste oil collection places around.

[FLAWLES]

can also take it to any localworkshop/tractor/truck etc and give it to them
most will take the waste oil
as it gets picked up for free and re-used

true story

Yeah I've heard of them too, forget the name of the crowd but they only take in in 200+ litre amounts.
