A giant oil tank - how to dispose?
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: http://store.cyrilhuze.com/CyrilHuze...um/10234-1.jpg 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? MC |
