| Used Motor Oil
Can anyone recommend some places in Vancouver where they have recently gone to dump used motor oil?
Went to 3 places on the weekend with no success.
Thanks.

I usually drop it off on the cart at Canadian Tire, outside of the garage.

When CT stop accepting oil? I just dumped off like 8L 2 weeks ago at the Richmond Steveston Hwy location.
Edit: According to the link above, CT at Steveston Hwy still takes oil.
Sorry, OP said Vancouver, my bad.

back when recycling companies would purchase used oil from places such as CT, etc, it used to work in their favour to accept and recycle it for you. now used oil isn't worth much and places sometimes have to pay someone to empty their waste tanks.
if it's not a lot of oil, and the containers are clean and don't leak, you can drop it off at my shop. i'll take it and recycle it for you.

I could've sworn any place that sold oil had to accept used oil. That may have changed though.

FYI Dueck no longer accepts as well.
Thanks for the offer Narfy, I'll just drop it off at the Burnaby Eco Centre. I can't say all the containers are super clean.

Looks like I was wrong, that's a law in other provinces but not here from the sounds of it.
This site lets you search for the nearest facility that accepts oil though: Return Collection Facilities

From what I've heard is that the reason CT doesn't take oil anymore is because they got fined big time when they tried to return 'tainted' oil. Not sure what the contaminant was but it was bad enough to ruin oil returning for everybody. Lame.

i thought i posted in here but i guess i didnt
the reason theres hardly anyone who takes used oil compared to years ago is that when oil cost over $100/barrel to pump out of the ground, it was cheaper to recycle used oil. so oil recyclers used to pay everyone (lube places, canadian tire, dealerships, etc) quite a bit for their oil. now that has flipped and places actually need to pay to have oil taken away.
it seems silly that we pay a recycling or eco fee up front, and now can hardly get rid of the used oil.

| So is it confirmed Mr.Lube will take it? I have three 4L milk jugs full of oil I need to get rid of. I went to CT on Ontario and Marine Dr today and they told me they don't take oil anymore, as stated in earlier posts.

My dad totally did this a few weeks ago. I gave him an earful. At least when I went back to check the site the place he dropped it off at does accept used oil.
Anybody know if I can mix the fluids? I've got motor oil and brake fluid, can I just pour the brake fluid in with the motor oil?

what threw me off was this question in the FAQ on bcusedoil.com Quote:
Which used oil products can be recycled?
Oil – any petroleum or synthetic crankcase oil, engine oil, hydraulic fluid, transmission fluid, gear oil, heat transfer fluid or other fluid used for lubricating purposes in machinery or equipment.
Source: FAQ ? BCUOMA | I wasn't sure if the brake fluid was considered "hydraulic fluid" or not.
