Yep. It all gets incinerated like me some day. Hopefully not before next trash day!

2 pages of basically the same response except those who want to burn it or contaminate the soil around their house. All the auto stores that sell oil will dispose of it for you, including Walmart. Should be the last post on this subject I hope.

Putting it into waste pickup for trash to energy risks leakage to the environment when the truck compacts the load.

Autozone on corner of 44 and 301.

Take it to Auto Zone, Advance Auto or O’Reilly’s, they’ll take it. I change my engine oil & that’s who takes oil!

OhioBuckeye 07-22-2022 07:56 AM

You’re wrong Michael, I change my own car engine oil ALWAYS & auto supply store do & still take oil. Sorry Michael!

I've wondered about this too....is it actually OK to put stuff like old oil, paint thinner, and the like in the trash? I mean...since it's being incinerated anyway it should be OK shouldn't it?

Why not? The dump/transfer station we use up north takes used motor oil. They have an oil burning heater they use to heat the building they operate out of. They only ask that you don’t mix gas or hydraulic oil with the motor oil because it will mess with their oil burning heater.

Not a good idea, when the truck compacts the trash, the container will be crushed and the oil can leak onto the street.

Fastskiguy 07-23-2022 07:56 AM

Hmmm...OK we don't have a consensus yet on oil in the garbage, rats.

the next nonsensible answer I heard was someone we all know was driving in his car and oil got on his windshield, and he got cancer from it, you can't make this up.
