Used Oil, Old Batteries Etc.. How To Dispose Of?


Recommended Posts

what does everyone do with their leftover oil and such? i've got about 4 bottles sitting in the garage that i need to get rid of but its not like i can pour it down the drain or shove it in the rubbish bin.

When i lived with my folks we used to do trips out to the rubbish tip and dump them there... but my cars not quite so rubbish tip friendly :)

Ok in general you can dispose of waste oil at any supercheap up here in qld, im guessing would be the same as for down south, for use batteries you may have to chase down a battery world or a battery re-core place to dispose of it that way, unless you can always just put them in the bin! Highly illegal i dont condone people to do it that way but its upto you

Hope that helps

Cheers

Thw Recycle plant at mt cotton and Browns plains will take both.

ahh sweet thanks fellas :rant:

I had evil thoughts about dumping it all in the bin but my conscience had the better of me :laugh:

haha the old lady in our complex complained about the tiny drop of oil i put on the pavers a while ago... would be funny if she found the contents of five full 5L bottles of used sump oil on her maticulously manicured garden, especially since i'm moving soon :P

but nah going to ring supercheap tomorrow see if they will take it, if not i'll just take it out to the browns plains recycle thingo.

Just one quick one with the browns plains dump. Its 20L maximum per day of oil they will take for nothing. Anything over that they charge you a per litre rate. But to get to the bit where you dump that off I think is only 2 speed bumps now, and its all asphalt. You'll be right.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
