| My oil drain container is FULL of the Purp and I need to do an oil change before Saturday. My boss has a strick "NO DUMPING" policy into their used oil cans so I need to know somewhere in town I can empty it.
Where should I go and do they charge a fee for disposal? | |

| Walmart will take it I think and for free. I've brought used oil over there and they took it no questions. | |

| We would be willing to accept waste oil in the near future at our new shop.
We've got a waste oil heater that will need fuel in the coming months! Once we get all moved in and set up I will make a post of how to contact/where to bring it to. | |

| BY LAW, any place that sells oil must except your used oil free of charge..
Oreilly, walmart, wherever..
I usually take mine to walmart. I bring in 4 or 5 gallons at a time and they never bitch | |

| Just reuse it in your car dummy. Remember to boil it before you use it, that is what makes it pure again. | |

| Oh, they'll take more than 5 at a time at the dump.
I think Fox and I loaded up what we figured to be like 25 or 30 gallons in seperate containers one day from my garage and behind it doing some spring cleaning (6 years of the oil changes we actually did at home).
Bring them a refrigerator with no freon in it though and they'll still nail you $20! | |

| Master lube will also take it, just put it in containers that you don't need back. Also the City of Billings shop on Midland road will take it, there is a huge drop-off bin at the West end of the parking lot. | |

I'm not familiar with that shop? Is there just a container that you drop off jugs of used oil into or what? | |

| Weren't you wanting used oil for a heater, Mikey?
If not, take it down to Mark Standish, the BMW guy, down in the big Quonset hut on the corner of 2nd Ave N and N 18th St. He uses it for winter heat, and is fun to BS with if he's got the time. | |
