Thanks guys, I'm gonna make the rounds today and see if any of the shops out here will take it that use waste oil burners in their burners. If not I'll take Pete up on his offer, even though it's a hundred mile trip there and back. Lets see, that's about a 7gallon trip at $3.00 a gallon, twenty bucks just to get rid of some stale gas, now that's really green isn't it!!! We are’t fortunate enough to have recycling centers out here like many of the towns I hear about. Some of the more affluent communities in towards the city have regular drop off points for about any thing that the household might want to recycle.
About a pickup truck full of old electronics, computers, circuit boards, picture tubes, old radios went out with the garbage this morning. I spent several days and burned up thirty bucks worth of petrol trying to find a recycling center and couldn't. Finally lost my patients and dumped it all out front with the rest of the trash.
All I ever hear from the green freaks (my daughter being one) is recycle, recycle. And a lot of us would recycle if they would make it easy for us to do. Our garbage man here does give us a recycling tub about the size of a bread box. The only things they will take are bottles cans and some plastic. Half the time I just see them dump it in with the regular garbage. A pile of glass doors and windows went the other way this morning along with a bunch of those large plastic cases that tools come in. And a stack of paper catalogs and magazines about as tall as I am where added to the land fill also.
Yep stale gas, oil, antifreeze, electronics, glass, paper products, many plastics, all somewhat difficult if not impossible to recycle around these parts.
