i still put the cans and filter in the garbage. Where the hell else
do you think they go? I do recycle the used oil. I pour it on my
gravel driveways to control dust. Just like the county does.

Well in my city, engine oil and used filters do not go in the garbage, they
must be taken to the local eco-centre for proper disposal. Pouring oil on
the road or driveway is also forbidden.

A bit of info on the reasons why used motor oil should not be dumped on your
driveway.
