you can take it to Canadian Tire, they dispose of it for free. I always take mine there.

Yup.. Canadian Tire.. They dispose of it PROPERLY That's definitely the best way, eventhough it's a hassle. I think it's plenty worth it. You guys only have 1 jug to bring.. I have plenty more than you guys combined. Don't be so lazy.. So.. Make that effort. PLEASE.

I just put my oil beside the big garbage cans at C.T. and they take care of the rest. (At least I like to think so)

I have a friend who works at C.T.... so I can at least vouch for his location that they actually do dispose of the oil properly. That's probably one of the few things that they do right.. hahaha

What they do is take it and dump it all into a big drum. Then eventually a truck comes and pumps it out where it gets recycled.

I wouldn't be surprised. Or maybe they have an annual oil wrestling tournament instead of mud wrestling. Where all the female employees get greased up and wrestle for the title of "Let me grease your monkey"

FYI: For every litre of motor oil dumped in the sewer system, ruins 100,000L of drinking water.

Didn't you know this is the same stuff KFC uses for thier gravy?
