ive got about 40-50 litres to get rid of. ive not chucked away any from oil changes over the last 12 months :(

big trip to the tip at the weekend... i ownz an estate now so no worries :eek:

40-50 litres in a year :eek: How many cars do you have!

I think over my three, if i had changed the oil myself on all of them and kept it, it would have possibly collected maybe 25 litres....and thats over 25-30,000 miles!

Plenty of room in the toilet, just pour it in, and it'll magically go down!

Give them a wipe with a rag, stick them away for next time.

Dunno why people dispose of their oil illegally, why waste something that still has a use. Not to mention it's easier and has no risk taking it down the tip.

Dig a hole in the garden and pour it in :)

Eveyone i know from stoke does this :D

ITs not lazines not to take it down the tip but 9/10 you make a complete mess getting it back into the bottle if you have a bottle at all to begin with (always a bit left over)
