Used oil disposal

[MisterCMK]

How do you guys dispose of your used motor oil? We have a nice 5 gallon metal drum that has a spout for pouring it out with a handle and another opening for a funnel to pour it in but you can only do about 4 oil changes before the damn thing is full again.

The checker on 13th ave. has a sign on their door that says they dispose of used oil.

Finding a place to get rid of it is not a problem. Wal-mart will take it as well. I am just trying to find a way to store it a little better before I take it up there.

We have a 55-gallon drum that we just pore oil into from the oil pans... holds a hell of a lot and you just need to find a farmer or someone who uses it for heating.... they will take it for free....

its great if you have the room and go through enough oil to need the 55 gallon drums. biggest problem you run into afterwords is the enormous weight of the drum when it is full. if you dont need more than a 5 gallon once a year, then you shouldn't have too much of a problem. if you need more, then consider a 10 gallon, or just another 5 gallon one. 55 is a lot for just the average consumer. majority of places take it, and my buddies shop out in west fargo actually has 2 1000 gallon storage tanks along with the 500+ one for the oil burner he uses during the winter.

I have some 15 gallon drums but the tops aren't the greatest for having a nice tight seal when transporting. Free if you want one, two three, whatever, let me know.

I usually just drink it w/ my toast & eggs for breakfast

It seems like we are forever dumping the 5 gallon pail that we are using now. I think that we have to take it up every 2 or 3 months. I may look into a 10 gallon drum or even a 30 with some sort of pump on it.

We have an old fuel oil tank 250 gallon, when full, someone will come out and pump it for free..They provided the tank too.

both the place I work and the place I usually change my oil have tanks that are atleast 250 gallon.. the one might be closer to 500. Same deal though, they come pump it out.
