    I know it's been asked many times before, but does anyone know a place that takes old engine oil?

    Cheers.

    takes to long to wash it down. The suir is handier . I normally just leave it in a basin until someone else in the house gets rid of it. Dunno where they bring it though.

    Where you based Volvo? Most of the Waste Transfer stations have an oil tank for hazardous liquids and old paint and oil etc are collected and I suppose they are treated or fed into a high powered incinerator to be used as fuel.

    Lying cnut, I saw you parking your heap over the drain last time you changed your oil.

    I've a manhole in the back garden. Tip the whole lot down, and it's somebody elses problem. Same with just about any liquid waste. And some solids. All gone. Illegal, technically... but really, does anyone give a sod?
