Not too many years ago the county used to encourage us to do that. Of
course they didn't have to put so much brine on the roads then.
Bout twice a summer the county would spray the gravel roads with
brine.




Where I live, service stations, car dealerships, Wal-Marts, any store
that sells oil or performs oil changes is required to receive used oil
for recycling. I'm guessing this varies by state so I don't know what
options exist where you are, but I'm guessing there are options.


I don't know if it's required in Michigan, but most of those places
will take your old oil no questions.
