A news report some years back stated that every year Americans throw
more oil out into the woods and/or roads than was lost in the Exxon
Valdez (sp?) incident.

I'm not surprised. It's so damned hard to "properly" dispose
of used oil if you do your own changing. I'm speaking of the
common person that liks to change the oil in their car instead
of paying some drop out 50 bucks to not put the drain plug back
in properly.

I live in an LA suburb and I've always had trouble finding a
place to dispose of my used oil. Places either charge, or you
have to use a special certified container to bring it in. Oh,
and of course they just happen to sell these special certified
containers for a "nominal" fee, of course.

I bet 99% of people who change their own oil end up putting the
used stuff in the same bottles they just poured the new stuff
out of. Why can't you turn it in like that? I'm not kidding!
I've been turned away before. "Not approved."

So, I end up with gallons of used oil sitting in my garage until
the city has one of those free "bring anything" trash collection
sites set up for a couple days every few years.
