    Try your local garage.

    That's nuts, how do they police it? Who would just have 1 litre, any oil change would have a min of 3 litres and likely more. My recycling centre in Coolmine, D15 has no limit which is only right. I brought about 20 litres there last summer along with a boot load of other stuff for €8. They had a big square drum for engine oil so they just asked that I pour my 5 litre containers into that and leave the empties in a separate skip. Small yard but has most of what you'd need with separate areas for paint, oil, electrics, plasterboard, timber, steel etc.

    Guess you'll have to try a garage but can't see them being very accommodating.

    My local recycling place takes as much as you want, I think technically they say 1l but that's to stop commercial recycling of it.

    Flush it down the toilet.



    No seriously, bring it to local recycling center, if they are sticklers for 1L, just put it in 500ml coke bottles, and walk in 10 times.

    I bring 20 litres at a time to the recycling centre every 2 months but most of it goes to a fella with a waste oil burner

    They do be watching. They do have a big tank to recycle the oil, so I don't get why it is only 1 litre at a time

    Drive up to Roscommon and drop it there. €4.50 a ticket (I think) and as much oil as you carry in the.boot you can recycle.

    I used to collect used oil from restaurants and takeaways. It was sent to the UK for bio diesel
