“You service your own vehicle. How should you get rid of the old engine oil?
Answers:
our local dump (recycling center) takes ours there is a big tank to pour it in
dump it on your neighbors lawn
i heard it mixes well with vodka for a real brain cell killing drink
Take it to the recycle centre,where it can be recycled
take it to your local council recycling centre (dump ) they have the right 'oil drum bin' to put it in..or your local friendly garage or mot centre
You can take it to Advanced Auto, AutoZone or O'Rileys for free. Just go in and tell them you have used oil and they will let you dump it in their oil dispisal for free. I usually put mine in a 5 Gallon bucket and do it every other oil change.
in Canada any place that sells oil must make arrangements for accepting used oil , also the waste transfer stations are set up to accept used oil, antifreeze etc.
Your local city recycling dump will have a place for you to dispose of it
I think you can get heaters that will burn it. Cheap way to heat your home!
Some dealerships and parts stores will accept oil for recycling if you are in the US. Ask around. Save your gallon milk jugs with screw on tops to carry it in so as not to spill.
All local council run refuge centre's/tips have oil receptacles for disposal. Our local Morrison's supermarket garage forecourt has on also.

UK Your local recycling site will probably have a waste oil recycling facility.
auto zone or any quick lube should be happy to take it. I own and operate 3 quick lubes and I get paid 79 cents / gallon for my waste oil so I am always happy when someone brings all their oil to me. It really adds up especialy when I get rid of about 1600 gallons every 2 weeks.
You can take it too an auto store and they will recycle it for you.
Use it to start the next bonfire
you can take it to advance auto or any auto place they gladly take it
oil change shops,
wal mart,
etc
