In the olden days it was allowed to just pour the old oil down the drain, but environmental laws prohibit that today.





All sorts of recycling is needed for all sorts of old auto parts, which may or may not pay the mechanics places a decent income.

Under EPA rules they must pay to dispose of it and they pass the cost on to customers... just like every business when the government inflicts rules and regulations
There are specialist companies who collect old oil for free from garages and then clean it up, put additives in to make it do the job again and then they sell it.


You are right in saying you shouldn't pay to get rid of the oil as it is recycled in most cases but there are sharks about who charge whatever they can for whatever they do. Wow, perhaps the Banks own these companies?
Yes they get $$ and they charge because they can. It is that green revolution - get used to it. More charges to follow, pay for that ';carbon footprint';
