The best way is to take it to the local recycling centre. Our council will pick up old oil with the normal recycling collection so thats worth checking also.

If you want to be an imbecile why stop at pouring at the base of a bush? Why not pour it into a river from a bridge or better still pour it on your neighbours cars or even better walk down the high street with a bucket and paint brush and paint it onto peoples clothes/faces and shop windows

Do some garages still have heaters which burn waste oil?

One that does might be glad of it.

Only if it's an "offending neighbours" tree.:o

I buy oil for the "family" in 25ltr containers. When I've filled one of these with waste oil I take it to my local garage, he tips it into a 40gallon drum and gives me a clean container back. He then sells the oil back to the recycler. Keeps me well in with him, and is the best solution all round I think.

He used to burn it to heat the workshop but has a new system now.

So garages actually get money for waste oil? cheeky National Tyres make a charge to dispose of it!!

We changed the car oil today, with some other filters too.

service today, Poured out the old oil (Black oil)

and inserted the New oil.


Where can we dump/throw the old black engine oil?

what are our options?

and in the SKIP, they we just pour it down a hole, in the Skip tank? or they take the black oil in bottles?

It is illegal (as well as immoral and quite rightly so) to just dump the oil anywhere, other than at a designated place. Your local household waste and recycling centre will have the relevant facilties.

My neighbour has used it to paint all his wooden fences and gate. Have to say looks very good and ages exceptionally well. Does not smell ike nasty creosote either.

Some also use it try and kills root stumps by drilling. My dad used to do it in our garden peior to most of the population becoming environmental consultants. Cant remember if it ever worked but now its seen as very bad.

Again, that is also illegal. The waste oil will not bond with the wood sufficiently enough, to prevent from being washed away into the soil. That is why creosote used to used. Creosote is now so strictly controlled, it is almost impossible to find. When you do find it, some local authorities require you to have an existing permit to purchase and apply it. Posession of creosote by the public is illegal.
