Dispose of mixed oil / coolant / diesel

[Jbridges522]

Have a drum or 2…. Of a mix of all sorts of car related fluids from the shed, what am I meant to do with it?

Have taken oil to the dump with the odd bit mixed in but if it messes it up I wouldn’t want to take this much.

Cheers

Dump for proper disposal, they even accepted my bottles of old brake fluid.

Even mixed? Had about 40 litres of oil to them this morning.

Even mixed?

Yes, they didn't seem to care... Which makes me think will just end up in a landfill.

Will get booked in for the morning then, cheers @GrantR

My waste oil is usually black, the other colours don't seem to be visible when I dump it

Never had bother nor any questions or even the slightest interest when emptying oils and mixed fluids at the dump. I usually take 40l at a time down.

The dump in limavady has a few tanks and no one comes near you. The lids lie open so they are probably full of rain water anyway.

Back when the collection crowds used to pay a small amount per litre for the waste oil in volume, they would account / disallow 10% water content regardless.

My local dump has a tank for waste oil and one for cooking oil but none for old anti freeze. The fella says just put it it small jars and throw it in the non recyclable skip.
