Rompy McPoot Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Where do you take yours? I'm guessing you can't dump it in with old engine oil at the tip... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millerich Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Rightly or wrongly I'd always assumed the old engine oil was destined for some sort of refinement , so that it didn't matter too much if some other stuff went in with it.

This^^^ I've always chucked my mixed oil, petrol, brake fluid waste in there. I'm hoping it wasn't being sent straight to Vauxhall dealers to use for oil changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 I don't know if it's just my local tip that has this, but there's a section called 'household chemicals', where people leave tubs of all sorts, weed killer, anti-freeze, old tins of stuff that they found under the stairs, blood from sacrificial virgins, that sort of thing.

Gobert23 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 My local place has a 'bund' things for 'household chemicals'. I chuck the ol' brake fluid and other nasties in that one. Old oil has it's own collection drum thingy. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beanerno1 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Stick old flammables "brake cleaner, fuel etc" in old paint tin,, when tin is full, firmly apply the lid and make a small hole and retire to the end if the garden,, sparklers are quite good for setting them off, or matches if your brave.

Alex_H Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I'm of the 'mix it all together and fuck it off to the oil bund down the tip' camp, its the last thing the tip security guards are interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
