Yeah, great. I can see it now... Some white trash redneck garbage

the floor getting it out of the tanks and half of what's left carrying
it up out of the basement.

If you advertise cheap/free oil on CL, you're not going to attract
professionals to remove the old oil.

It's actually done a lot and is about the best way to get rid of it
without spending a lot of money. You may even get paid a little for
the oil.

Ask the ones who did it how much of a mess the garbage pickers made
tromping through their house in their muddy boots, swinging open pails
of salvaged heating oil. Ask them how much Cletus and Jimbob spilled
because they didn't have a pump, and tried to catch the oil out of the
drain spigot with a bucket that wouldn't fit underneath.

If you call "professionals", you are going to be unpleasantly
surprised at what they tell you.

You're going to have to call the profesionals anyway to clean up what
the garbage pickers spill all over your house...
