When I change my oil I usually dump the filthy used shit down a nearby storm drain.:nice:
F0ck Mother Nature, she's a c0nt.

I just leave it in the driveway (dirt driveway)

Sounds like YOU are too.

I put it in a gallon jug and take it back to Autozone/advance/ETC.. They all take it for FREE. I don't know why you would want to risk an illegal dumping fine when you can get rid of it legally for free.

I used to burn it with brush, but now I just drop it a gas station and they dump it for me.

You would think this filthy country would have laws requiring all gas stations to collect used oil for recycling. This is one reason illegal invaders just dump paint and other materials in the local streams. It is easier to pollute than recycle. The USA is a filthy piece of shit.

For about 70 bucks a year, my employer buys a permit that allows him to dump toxic chemicals into the city sewage system.

Now, these aren't radioactive, or pcb's or those sort of things. It's mostly photographic chemicals, such as developer and fix. There's also some alcohol, and a few solvents, one in particular that contains an ingredient called tuluol, which is highly corrosive. In fact, that particular solvent was banned at one point, but the manufacturers just changed the 1st three letters of the brand name, and continue to manufacture and sell it to this day.

So, for a few bucks a year, a person can dump all kinds of things into the environment and never pay any penalties at all. I've been working for this company for over 6 years this time around (I worked there years ago and left for 16 years, then came back through a strange twist of fate), and not once has anyone come around to test what's going down the drain.

This is happening everywhere. They basically try and strike a balance between allowing companies to do what they do, and limiting what goes unto the environment. Supposedly, the fees help pay for the treatment of the water, but 70 bucks a year doesn't seem like much, but millions of people are paying the fees, and those who are dealing with more caustic chemicals have to pay more.

Some, like the corporation my Dad worked for for 19 years (W.R. Grace, who are in deep shit over asbestos and some other nasty things that people have been exposed to, ingested or absorbed into their bodies), have to install their own waste water treatment facilities between their dumping areas, and the nearest streams or municipal sewage systems.

As long as they have deep pockets, they can get away with it for the most part, and the uncomfortable reality is that we have to establish some acceptable level of hazardous waste going into the environment, or life as we know it would change drastically. Many of these corporations have invested millions into waste water treatment and other methods of disposing of hazardous waste, and they still have quite a ways to go.

Also, things are actually far cleaner now then they were back in the 60's and early 70's. I can remember riding over certain bridges that crossed extremely polluted rivers and streams, and the smell of raw sewage was so bad you had to roll the windows up. there were also lots of other chemicals being dumped as well, and today, I regularly fish in one particular river here in MD. (the Patapsco), and the water is crystal clear, the fish are thriving, and it's never looked better in my lifetime.

When I was a kid, that water was brown, always, and the stench was awful. It only gets brown these days as a result of heavy rains stirring up the mud in the riverbed. So, even though there is still much room for improvement in many areas, we've also come a very long way over the last few decades as far as the environment is concerned.

Wowsa, Betrade. Interesting coicidence, my father interviewed with the late Peter Grace way back when. I myself worked at a company that owned the filthy Stauffer Chemical company at one time. The USA is a sesspool.

I take it to the recycling center :shrug:

i save it in jugs till i head back to the auto store, they take it for free.

it used to be a law in NJ anywhere that sold motor oil had to take used oil. apparently that's not the lawn anymore, *******s.

I bottle mine up and then give it to the homeless in the city, they are very thankfull .... i think they use it for making some meth-like drug or something. :shrug:

Sell it to McDonalds.

1. Put on the fence posts at the farm to preserve them.
2. Throw it over the fence .
3. Pour it all over the driveway of someone I don't like.

Dont drink that ~
