automarc....working as an environmental consultant for the past 18 years, I can assure you I am aware of legitimate, effective, and legal treatment methods for some of the waste liquids that garage's generate. For me to use the term landfill may have not been appropriate. Perhaps the term "recycle" or "re-use" may have been a better choice - particularly for those who may have snickered with regards to my described "landfilling" methods. AS far as the metals content is concerned, the facilty filters prior to incineration, and the remaining concoction of petroleum based "broth" is actually fairly well managed by 21st century remedial technologies......even here in the Carolinas.
