Definitely we came a long way. So ruining the ground and turning it into a garbage landfill nothing grows in it was the thing back then?

I think it was the same here. Once or twice a year.... And the line was just as you described.I used to live in an area where there was a yearly hazardous waste collection program. You had to wait all year to drop off stuff like paint, florescent light bulbs, engine oil etc since there was no centralized location to drop the items off year round. The line for the event was miles long and wrapped around multiple blocks. I saw a few people that got tired and drove off, pretty sure they just threw their hazmat into the garbage....
Exactly this. There are at least 5 parts stores in my local area: O'Reilly, VatoZone, CarQuest, NAPA, Walmart, etc. I call first to be sure they are accepting used oil. 95% of the time they are, but once in a while their tank is full... I just try the next closest parts store or maybe try the same store the following week, typically with success.In California, pretty much ALL car parts stores - AutoZone, O'Relley's, NAPA, PepBoys take in used motor oil AND used filters. The limit is 5 gallons. I maybe heard the tank is full excuse 3 times and it happened the last time I went but I was only dropping off filters and he was willing to take that. This time he said that the tank was full but they were emptying it currently and it would be available in about an hour. They do ask that you take your empty bottles off the property to dispose of and I just put them into the recycling container. You are supposed to fill out a line on a sheet at the front desk detailing your name, address, type of fluid and quantity. I usually ask them for some oil change stickers while there and they provide them for free.
Is that laughable? No sir and that is absurd, well with the exception of the filter. I dispose of them at the parts house. Wiper blades? Come on chief.that is what is laughable.That's just laughable. What about your used oil filter, packaging that items come in, the old wiper blades, and so on ? Those the parts store's responsibility too ?
