Re: Bad places to dump your oil...in days gone by...

Don't tell anyone but I still do the tank 'n' spreader tube thing to oil the dust down. Is chloride good for the environment ... or CIL?
It should almost be free if you can haul it away as it is classified as a waste product. (it is trucked away and put into a huge stockpile. That pile is usually on the property of an asphalt company that lets it sit there a few years (proving it is a waste product) and then they bring in a crusher and grind it back up and send it through the asphalt plant and resold to the city at full price). The taxpayers keep paying through the nose. The way it should work is the truck that gets loaded with this waste books it to the plant, dumps his load and it goes into the plant at a rate of 60% old material and 40% new gravel/sand/oil. Since that waste material belongs to the city their cost come down in that proportion thereby saving the taxpayers some loot. The only thing lost are the winter vacations this scam nets the city officials and the paving/trucking companies.
Just about anybody with a garage could burn the oil to produce heat. Most full serve stations have a container for such things.
