You have some options on oil disposal around here the big box auto stores (autozone, pepboys etc) will take it for free.
Or you can take it to the dump for a small fee. Or most local garages will have a waste oil burner or know someone with one. (at least in the cold climates.)



I take mine to a beautifully pastoral stream – Particularly one with those pesky, rare snail darters. I liberally dump some of it into the babbling brook. The remaining oil goes onto the ground surrounding the stream. This helps control other pests such as fanshell, clubshell, northern riffleshell and pink ring mussles, and bog turtles. It also discourages unwanted feeding by those ****** plovers. If there are ample quantities of oil (I sometimes wait until I have several gallons), spreading the oil over wider expanses will remove the threat of over-population of flora and fauna such as the rare Indiana Bat, Blue Karner butterfly, American Burying Beetle, Eastern Tiger Beetle, and even the Gray Wolf. Igniting the oil will also control bulrush, Virginia Spiraea, pogonia and Eastern Prairie orchids. Spent filters can also be placed on a long pole and used as delightfully decorative tiki torches.
