Hope you have about 2 hours to kill the last time the line was over a mile long for this event.

I have 7.5 quarts of used motor oil I need to dispose of that is contained in a oil drain pan/container so it would need to be emptied on site. Does anyone now if such a receptacle would be on site for this Nov 4th Sumter County hazardous waste drop off?

Walmart will take

The web site doesn't mention lithium batteries. Would they take a 71lb lithium battery?

I have a 1,000 lb. EV battery, will they come & take it. I have no way of picking it up.

If this is true how did you get the 1,000lb EV battery out of the vehicle it was in? It didn't just grow in your yard, right?

If you removed it from a vehicle, how did you pick up the replacement battery to put it into the vehicle?

The auto parts store on 44 near the junction of 301 will take it.

As other posters have mentioned, take it to any local auto parts store (except Napa on 301), or the Walmart on 466. It'll save you the time waiting in this event.

Amnesty? From what?

Went there at 7:35 am and there was already a line of cars. They make it look like 1 lane of cars, but then 15 min later allow others to come in and fill the 2nd lane on the left so some people who were there earlier in the right lane got cut in front of. So if the left lane is open next time and you see a line of cars coming from afar in that lane, get in front of them into that open lane. There were 2 white tents for both sides to get to. They started 5 min before 8am. Each car in line moved a car length in about a minute. They take out your items from your car so you could wear your PJs and bedroom slippers if you wanted. Unless you need to get out of your car to open the trunk. With only my old TV I was done in 40 minutes, could've been worse.

To improve the line situation next year they should make it clear that there are 2 lanes available. I was annoyed enough that 3 people got ahead of me after arriving later, but the people further behind me in the right lane must've been ****ed that many people who arrived 10-15 min after them got to go at least 10-15 minutes before them.

No waiting 15 minutes ago.
