I wait until I have about 15-20 then put it up for free on Craigslist. Usually no problem getting someone to come take it for free. ---

my dad lives in the town of tonawanda - you can throw anything out there mondays - i just wait till i get a bunch, and take it to his house - they always take coolant and oil if you put it next to the garbage bins and not in them. ---

A lot of auto shops still have oil burners in them, those that don’t still often take it and sell it to those that do. ---

All you suckers taking it somewhere. 🙂 Stick it on CL, tell the person there’s a chance you might have to run to the hardware store since you’re doing some project, but if you’re not home the oil will be sitting there free to take. I never say I’ll be at work because I don’t want some CL person to think they have all day to break into my house. Keep them guessing that you might be home any minute. I think my last batch might have gone to someone here on NYSpeed actually.

My dad lives in Tonawanda (town). Last I knew they will take it curbside if you put it in a clean container and mark it as used oil. Down here, I use cat litter buckets to store used oil. I take it to the parts store or walmart for recycling once the bucket gets full. ---
