Alternatively you can also purchase your oil from FCP Euro and they have a lifetime replacement plan even for wear and tear items like brakes/oil and other fluids.
Buy oil or an oil change kit from them first. Then next time when you need an oil change, just order your new oil from them, do your oil change, fill up the containers with your old oil, ship it back to the states for $15-20, and they will refund you the amount that you paid for the new oil.
The whole process takes some time but it would just cost you $15-20 for each oil change, and they're great with other products as well check them out. I don't know how they are profiting, but they've been in business for quite a while now. Their replacement plan is only for the original purchaser, so I guess they bank on their parts outlasting their customers keeping their cars.

Canadian Tire was supposed to stop taking oil nationally approximately last year, iirc according to my old manager, but i could see why some locations may still take oil because theyre franchised and there's money to be made with the used oil.
I am not completely sure about the recycling centre in North Van, but i saw used oil filter drop-off last time i went, so i would think there's an oil and coolant drop-off as well

They have huge labelled tanks for you to pour them out, and then bins right beside for your empty container. It''s unbelievable how Burnaby (hi Stewie!) can have such an amazing facility yet Vancouver has absolutely nothing. | This is really great information, thanks SkunkWorks! I'll update the list we have at work to include this one

NP - just stop collecting the recycle fee  | |

I mean I don't think the shops are tacking on that fee themselves...I would assume it comes from the prov government much like the BC eco fee for electronics, etc.
so whichever office is mandating this, we should just dump it at their doors until they make it clear which sites are actively taking used oils

^could write to our local MPs about this I suppose....  http://bcusedoil.com/
BC Used Oil Management Association
- informative site on where your recycling fee goes, what their minimum service levels are (on recycling facilities), etc
- ironically, a CT representative sits on their board of directors

OK I know you were being serious but that was legit one of the funnier things I've read on here in a while!  Quote:

Nice, I found a couple of old tires in my garage, do I take them to the install bay or upfront?  | |

| There's literally no way they can decipher what's brake fluid and what isn't.
At Mr. Lube they had a pit I was welcomed to dump any and all old fluids into (including coolant). This was during their business hours.

| That is one of the reasons we don't have places to drop our oil. Inconsiderate bastards mixing their fluids.

when people leave bags of oil that leak everywhere, and we have to get the staff and store supplies to clean it up, that's why we stopped taking in oil

in the places I've worked at so far, used brake fluid and oil and other petroleum based lubricants were dumped together in the same tank, coolant separate, unless it was oil contaminated, then it went in with the oil. That's how the oil recycling guys come and pump it out.
I just don't understand where people seem to find endless amounts of really old, large glass containers filled with hydrochloric acid. And decide that they belong with waste oil. Quote:

Oh well. I didn't know any better back then. If it wasn't liquid, it went straight to the garbage lol
Glad I stopped long ago doing that portion of that job, and don't work there anymore haha

I used to bring it to a Honda dealer after I've accumulated a few 4L milk jugs of oil from several oil changes. I haven't been back in about a year... I hope they still take the oil.

I'd be willing to pay a few bucks to drop my fluid somewhere, rather pay $5 than spend days trying to find a place.
