So you ARE a tree hugger. (A rude one).

I ain't one to put oily jugs in my car and waste part of my day driving around for a place to put it, when there is a perfectly good dumpster within walking distance. So sue me. I ruined the world. It wasn't Obama after all. It was me! LOL

Check with your local car repair businesses also, a lot of them run those waste oil heaters. They'll burn that stuff in the winter. And you can mix all the fluids together.

I agree, I was riding down the road with my neighbor in his truck and I rolled down my indow to throw a used kleenex out and he had a cow and said I was littering. I just about jack slapped him, needless to say, now if I am riding with him anywhere, I throw everything out!!

I could visualize putting an oily 55 gal drum in my wifes mini van.

I just take mine to a mechanic shop. Usually it's someone that doesn't mine disposing the stuff. In most cases you have to haul it away anyways so why not dispose it right.
