This morning I had to go to the local auto parts store and decided to take along a 5 gallon can containing about 2 gallons of used motor oil to pour into the recycle barrel. My can originally contained new motor oil. The counter guy absolutely refused to allow me to pour my used motor oil in with the other used motor oil. The reason? My container is not an approved toxic waste container. But they do have the approved containers for sale!
I asked if I bought an approved container and poured my oil into it, would I then be allowed to pour this same oil into the recycle barrel? Yes, of course.
Just when I thought the laws in HaHafornia couldn't get any stupider.
