Candybee Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Haven't had any I had to throw out! You should see my storage shelves full of boxes of oils! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I have some oldie moldies I want to dispose of, too. I know they should not be put down the drain... Maybe start a trash fire with 'em? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroome2005 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Umm lets see. I either throw them out in the trash can or ..yep- that is what I do.. I am pretty sure this isnt the right answer but its what I do.. I rarely ever have to do it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe start a trash fire with 'em?Never dispose of down the drain! Take to the city or county dump if they've gone truly rancid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only thrown out 3 since 2005.. but I know me throwing in the trash is not a nice thing for me to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 No it's not. It can actually get your city or county in trouble because of its toxicity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroome2005 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Ya.. I will start taking them to the dump. I think the 3 that i got rid of were less than 1/2 oz but still no excuse.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricofAZ Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Women!Ok, take it to a garage and have the folks who dispose of motor oil add it to the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 EEEOOOOO!!! I dunno if I could even do that to a nasty FO with that "OLD FO" smell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Women!Ok, take it to a garage and have the folks who dispose of motor oil add it to the mix.I thought of that too but wasn't sure they would take FO in with motor oil. I thought they recycled used motor oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
