Default Free used Engine Oil and Container Disposal List

Hi guys,

I know this has been brought up before but thought I could add to the topic by providing a handy list I found of all the Waste Transfer Stations that offer free disposal (up to 20-30 litres) of used engine oil and the containers. It also has the address and hours of opening.

http://www.aip.com.au/pdf/health/program_site_list.pdf

The setup at the Darebin Station is quite good; they have a big bin for the oil and smaller bins right next to it for the bottles. I imagine the other transfer stations would be similar.

Cheers

Hi clingwrap

Thanks for the link! I know my local (Dakabin) has a grated pan that gets fed into a massive vat
and bins beside for filters and bottles
And like any good council it's free

I see all the Queensland ones are in the SE.
I guess transport costs would be the reason.
