Where to dispose used motor oil?
I service my own TV. I am close to changing engine oil. In Clermont, FL area where do I take my used motor oil? Thanks. Lakeside

Dump it on the manure spreader so it won't freeze this winter or spread it under the electric fence so the weeds grow up to the wire.
What? That's what RoundUp is for. Eventually that oil and all its contaminants will enter the water table.
OP - Just about any Walmart, Oreilly, Autozone, or Advanced Auto Parts will take it.
Well, I guess I'm as good as dead, then. For many years, all the farmers around my area dumped their used engine oil on the dirt roads to help keep the dust down. Of course today that is taboo as well as illegal.
For good reason. You really DO NOT want that stuff in your well water.
Lesser issue, but you don't want it on your truck, either! I lived in a country subdivision where a couple truckers liked to throw their oil on the road. I don't know if they thought they were doing everyone a favor, but if you drive over it before it has a chance to settle in, you have a big mess.
