Disposal of motor oil.
 
Hi all, can someone advise how to dispose of motor oil? Thanks.

Walmart will take used oil in the automotive dept.

Altavia 07-21-2022 02:25 PM

Any auto parts store that sells oil

Autozone takes used oil. At least they did 3 months ago when I disposed of my used cart and vehicle used oil.

Never had auto parts store tell me that. They sell used oil.

Motor oil
 
Never had a problem with any auto parts store. If they sell it they will take it. I use O’Reilly’s on 301 in WILDWOOD. Never had a problem.

Well, they burn your trash, petroleum based plastic included.

That's a first for me.

It's part of their corporate environmental responsibility to recycle but they do allow exceptions.

So forewarned, I wouldn't buy oil anyplace that will not accept the used oil back.

Took mine to Advanced across the street from Walmart on 466 a couple of weeks ago.
