Where to dump used oil!

**tiksie** · 19-10-2011 12:16 PM

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 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).

The Waste Management Centres in VIC also do the same. I used to live near the one on Clayton Road towards the Moorabbin side. Could also drop off up to 10L of oil.

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.

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!

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.
