Hello, My town maintains its fleet and has dump tanks for oil products and anti-freeze. I know many gas/service stations will take it for free; others will charge a fee; $1/gallon at the time. You'll find toll-free numbers on the back of many automotive products' bottles and at websites which will lead you in the right direction. DO NOT pour it down your drain or dump it in a neighboring wood or pour it around the foundation of your house. It will kill the biology of sewage treatement plants, poison ground water in excess of 1,000,000 times its volume and it won't keep bugs away from your house; as was stated in an old issue of Popular 'Something' Magazine. A catch tray with a pour spout will ease getting it into gallon jugs (the ones oil come in or empty laundry detergent jugs). You can find plenty of them at recycling centers. FYI: There's a huge disparity between the amount of oil sold in this country and the amount turned in for re-refining. With time, legislation will be passed to address the ruination of our water. When this happens don't let Volvo owners be blamed for "Stoppin' us Americans from changin' our own oil". It'll be the fault of thoughtless, lazy Good-Old-Boys and criminals. Kira
