How NOT to do a hydraulic oil change...

[forky]

Anti-freeze disposal is simple.
Back into the jug that the new stuff came in (plus a spare jug for the 50/50 mix).
Both jugs into the municipal trash.
They CAN'T refuse it,..... because they don't know it is there!

The municipal trash is the last place it should go!
I care about the next generations to come after me.
Being responsible does make a difference for others.
It's not as simple as out of sight out of mind!

From my understanding if a location is selling motor oil they are also required to take used motor oil. Not saying you can show up with a 55gal drum, but if you bought several quarts from a store they have to take the used amount back.

If there is a convenient disposal location, I will take it there.
If not:.... In the trash it goes!

AND, double shame! Hoping your discarded chemicals makes it back to your vegetable garden and your tractor fuel tank.

Slim chance of that!

Where I live the land fill has 4 tanks. 2 for used oil. And 2 for antifreeze. They also have a can for used oil filters. I respect our environment too much to ruin it. With dumping chemicals in the soil to contaminate the water and harm crops, people and animals.

Shame!

I get frustrated with the new generation and their lack of respect, however I do try to consider the environment and wildlife. You want to post your opinion, I will post mine.

Well into my 8th decade, I have completely given up postulating on what the "new generation" might do!
Perhaps though, they will solve the anti freeze disposal issue,....... on TicTok!

your a piece of work and no different than the scumbags that left the pails on Evils property.

"scumbags"....= personal attack,= schoolyard bully language.

That is 100% not the way to do it. I do hope you are being facetious. While it is tempting to do, that's dumping waste in everyone's back yard.

And in the bed of a pick up. Also in the rear seat of a station wagon (the rear facing one) huffing leaded exhaust fumes.

Out of necessity/availability, that's the way I do it!
For those who have a better idea, ....I could UPS it to THEM, for whatever disposal method might meet their approval.

There is a bar up the road from my place maybe 1/2 a mile or so. I use to walk along the road that borders my place and pick up trash on Sunday mornings. You know beer , pop cans, bras, panties, shoes , short shorts, one time there was a dress. They must have had some really good parties at that place!

3 clicks and the info is right there. They accept it twice a year at the municipal stations.
