Very good info there lor....
Also to add - perhaps an easy method is to take it to any authorized garbage tip near your house - At the tip is always a oil-recycling centre , which you simply pour into a big vat and the council takes care of the rest !
Cost = 0 !
.....OR....you could just place it outside any petrol station in containers....really late at night :)
yeh nice one ben...i'd go for the tip but thats just me
thanks ToE, that came in very usefull
jus use the used oil to do burn out if u got thrasher wheelz.. lol but yeah gud info..
my old man pour it along the fence line at home to kill ther grass so he doesnt have to use the whipper snipper.
is he bad?

I take it to the Service Station - they have a special bin for engine oil. (Well the workshop does)
I always wonder where you deposed of it.
Damn i been dumping it da bin.. well only once

Hi,
Here is a link with some useful information.
http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/ed...M_Cleanout.htm
i believe that if you contact your local council they will tell you what the procedure is. My dad's been pouring them on the weeds also
Local Supercheap stores take them.
so local supercheap store takes it. so u just take ur old file in the bottle to them and they will disposal of it?
I believe you can also dispose them at your local waste management center, there is a special section where you place used oils at, however as for all those who been there before, it will cost money to dispose waste there.
you can dispose of up to 20 litres of sump oil for free :)Quote:

I use it at the bottom of our back fence to kill the weeds and shit.
There are other better solutions that don't contaminate ground water.Quote:

never heard of these places in my life!
i just took mine to autobarn
petrol stations, machinic shops and waste management depot
Not sure if this applies to all Super Cheap stores or only my local one. I tried to take 10L of used oil there recently and was told they no longer accept it. But in saying that the 15 year olds that work there probably don't know what they are talking about...
Does anyone know if auto transmission fluid is disposed in the same way? can i put both in the same drum before disposal?

They stopped accepting them about 12 months ago as the contract they had with the company taking them wasn't re-signed.Quote:

wait... so im not supposed to pour it down the sink?
I have a hole in the dirt outside that I tip it in all the time.
I've tried to take it to a few facilities once and they wanted ME to pay to give them my oil. That's ridiculous. Why should I pay money to give them free oil which they will be recycling ?
I'd rather pour it in my oil hole that I made in my backyard.
in vic, some stations will ask you to pay if it exceed certain amount.
like 20Ltrs or so
Tell them to EAD
take it down to your local mechanic. they should be able to dispose it for u.
mechanic would probably charge ya thou..waste supplys or someshit
In NSW, all Sita-run Waste Management Centres (http://www.wsn.com.au/) take up to 10L of engine & transmission oil for free. I just keep going to the Seven Hills one every few days on the way to work to dump oil. They also take car batteries, but they don't take engine coolant nor brake fluid. For those, I drop by my regular Bridgestone Tyre Centre and they take it off my hands at no charge (I am a regular there though).Quote:

Hi guys,
The link below is an updated list (July 2012) of all the waste transfer stations that offer free disposal (up to 20-30 litres depending the station and who is in charge) of used engine oil and the containers. If you have more then 20L then just go on a different day. It also has the address and hours of opening.
http://www.aip.com.au/pdf/health/program_site_list.pdf
The setup at the Darebin Station is quite good; they have a big metal bin for the old engine oil and smaller bins right next to it for the bottle once empty. I imagine the other transfer stations would be similar.
Cheers!
In your old ladies driveway on her grass.
If you're down Moorabbin way then Oil World also take waste oil for no charge, you just have to take the bottles home though.
Notting Hill waste transfer station take up to 30L for free then they charge 50c/L after that... really they're just looking for people bringing in 20L drums of used oil.
Just put it in a container and leave it outside your local mechanic's store.
They will have to dispose of the oil correctly lol.
go to rubbish tip and see the person there they'll dump the oil properly for you
Some mechanics will let you dump it in in their container, it gets picked up for free any ways.
