I took the garbage out tonight

I HAD one milk jug leak oil over my garage floor. The bottom fell out when
I picked it up. It had been in there about a month.


I had my first one leak last summer. They were sitting up off the floor on a
wooden step. One day there was a puddle of oil to clean up. Never had that
happen before. They had been there for many, many months.

For transporting to the oil dump/hazardous waste depot, I use a milk crate
lined with an open leaf bag. The jugs go in the bag.

I used to store the waste oil in various containers, including milk
jugs, until the semi-annual city "hazardous waste day".

But as a result of this thread I have learned that ALL the local auto
stores accept the oil. So I have bought a 5 gal gas can which I will
use to store/transport the used oil.

I have quick-drains on all (4) of my vehicles so that is going to
streamline the whole oil change process for me.

What I did after the leaky milk carton was to buy a 2.5 gallon plastic
gas can and mark it "old Oil". I drain the oil into it and carry it to
the FBO's sump and it is gone.
