Ok, this is a pure rant.

What the hell is going on with oil recycling these days! Ok, this past summer I found out Canadian Tire stopped accepting old oil. I searched online and called around to find a place to dump my used oil. The recycling depot just off terminal took it. Awesome! That's pretty close. I went to dump some jugs last week and they no longer take it!

They have a sign outside listing the places which still accept. Carter Honda is one of them by Granville Island. I go to drop off and she limits me to 4L. I have about 6L and some coolant i'd like to get rid of too. She states they are trying to get off the recycling list.

Like where the hell am I suppose to recycle this shit. I thought Vancouver is green. I may have to buy a fricken electric car as I sure as hell am not going to a dealership to change my oil. ARGH

Yes I know there is a list online of place to go, but it seems everyone on that list is trying to get off it. Is it this difficult outside the city?
