I bought a house. Included was about 50 gallons of waste oil, 5
gal. buckets of roofing butyl, and assorted 5 gal. buckets of
gook. I took the oil to the box store that sells auto parts. Have to have
a receipt that says you bought 5 gal. of oil THERE in
order to turn in the 5 gal. of used oil. Called JiffyLube. No
can do. Called the landfill. They have an "amnesty" day ONCE A
YEAR where they will take anything no questions asked. The next
one is this spring.

I put the oil in a milk jug labled "old oil" and put it out next to
the recycling bin on the appropriate day, and they take it away.
Or, take it to the transfer center and dump it into the tank there.


I filter the old oil and dump it in my fuel oil tank. A gallon of
motor oil isn't going to make much difference in a 500 gallon tank.

What's a fuel oil tank? Will you pay shipping? It's yours free. ;-)


I have wondered about the potential of using a waste oil burner to heat the
house. There's always people posting large quantities of waste oil on
Craigsllist.
