Today I went to recycle 5 quarts of used motor oil. I went to Pep Boys, my go to place for years, and to my dismay they said "We no longer accept used motor oil, because people were bringing junk and gasoline in their bottles and we were fined for having the junk and gasoline in our tank". It must have been a pretty steep fine. So I took it to Advanced Auto, who also recycles used oil. They said "Sorry, we are full". However, when leaving, I saw a row of 5 or 6 jugs of used oil at the side of the store so I put my jug in the line of jugs. I am starting to believe that my state might be making it more difficult to recycle used oil as part of the green earth incentive by making it more expensive to recycle oil. My buddy had the dealer change his oil, and he had to pay an oil disposal fee on top of the price of the oil change.
Also, people who are really sloppy should not be changing their own oil and putting their leaves, papers, sticks and old gasoline in their oil jugs and bringing it to the oil recycle places. Those places will be fined by the state and closed down if their used motor oil is contaminated.
