Have you tried giving the local council a ring?

Mind you, going by the experience I had with ours then if you do act honestly and repsponsibly then they're not intested.

Try leaving it outside somewhere quiet, but on a public area - Then just phone them up to report some fly tipping of dangerous waste (sarcasm noted please).

What is the mix?    Mostly diesel with a bit of petrol, or the other way round?    Unless there is a lot of petrol in there, find a mate with a Series Land-Rover diesel - it will work fine.   

My local MOT man does all of the "I put the wrong juice in my car" recoveries for the local petrol stations.   Not only is the victim/customer charged a fortune for recovery, but the contents of the tank went straight into his Series III as long as it was mostly diesel.    If it was mostly petrol it went in his old Fiesta.   He never needed to buy fuel for his garage transport.

Find someone who has a modern tank.  They have gas turbines and run on pretty much any liquid fuel.

Oooh what's the mix ratio? Fred is thirsty and he can run on virtually any kind of petrol right down to paint thinners lol

Your local tip (sorry recycling centre) will probably take it.

Just check with the guy in the shack before you tip it into the waste oil tank

So after the work today, I have approx 15 litres of used 1 week old engine oil, and about 20 litres of used week old SAE30. What do I do with it? Seeing as it's only a week old, looks clean and the engines only done 6 miles since, is it still unusable?
