I had two large oil tanks to dispose of when I switched to Propane last
month. I put them out by the road with a "free" sign on them, and they were
gone within 24 hours. People in my area use them to make barbecue pits.

An old house I just purchased has a large oil (yes, oil, not gas) tank in
the back yard. I was told it was used in the early 70s to heat the
swimming
pool and was later on disconnected.

This oil tank is about 80" long, cylindrical with a diameter oh say about
40". It sort of look like this:

but not shiny like it rather it seem to be pretty corroded. I don't know
if
there is still any oil in it, I could smell oil. Checking underneath it I
do not see any leak and the grass directly underneath it seemed ok.

I am trying to figure out how to remove and dispose of this thing. I have
asked the tree guy who came to remove tree stumps and he wouldn't touch
it,
I have asked trash removal companies and they wouldn't touch it says I
need
someone special...

Who should I call? Hazardous waste disposal unit?
