Thanks

Cool (Advanced Auto Parts about 2 miles away)...is there a fee?

Can I mix the leftover kerosene and oil together?

Are there certain disposable containers I need to use or will an old paintbucket work?

Thanks.

At the auto parts place, you will dump it into a large
"bin".. so you get to keep the container you brought it in.

Don't mix the kerosene with it..I don't know what to do with that.

Thank you for recycling

Thanks everyone...looks like I need to get a resealable tin container of some sorts for the old oil.

Anyone know how to safely dispose of old kerosene used to clean the chain (about 10 0z.) w/out burning it?

Find an Ant hill that is causing you problems, apply liberally. Step back, light a match.

Well hot damn Rev, now there's an idea. I'm in rural Tampa (conservation lot) and having lived here yourself you know the fireants can throw up a 1 foot mound overnight.

I have a few just beyond the outskirts of my backyard that could use a little FARR! Guess they call em' fireants for a reason.

Got any clues on how to handle the armadillos tearing up my landscaping?

Sounds good. I mean oil comes from the ground, why can't you put it back? The farmer might get excited and think he has struck it rich.

Any parts store, like they said. Don't do what I saw a woman doing down the block. She dumped 5 quarts of oil in a storm drain. So now, everyone will get a taste.

HA, yeah, I've seen that. Of course that would likely kill me as well and just put more holes in my yard. Not to mention the messy clean-up.

I have an under ground incinerator, ok it is an old storm celler, but I still burn my trash in there. I just pour the old stuff in a milk jug and throw it down there when I burn the trash.

Something about doing that would concern me.
