I'm clearly spoilt here in rural Normandy. The recycling centre in the big village, 4Kms away, takes everything but old oil. If there is 1 vehicle ahead of me then it's a busy period and the chap there does help offload. 'Downside' is it is only open afternoons on Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday. To get rid of old oil I have to go to the one in town, 10kms away. BUT I can come away with a load of compost for the garden free of charge.
