You are the person that can solve the used motor oil situation in your area. One idea is to find a business that will take the oil, and tell the owner all of your family, friends, neighbors, and associates will exclusively use that store for all their parts needs, in support of the store taking the used oil .I agree in theory. But this is like where I live. Places that sell motor oil refuse to accept it in return.
NYS has a law they must accept. I believe when actors don’t act right, govt needs to step in.
Btw—a little different. I have never met a single person, regardless of their politics, who said they miss the pre existing conditions clause. Even as a healthy 30 yo that was a pita to me (job changes). Insurance always dragged their feet in producing the proof of creditable coverage cert. I’m not making it up…the govt helped all of us with it
Another is for you to open a business to accept the oil. Find a market for the used oil. Maybe even charge for accepting the used oil, and then selling it

Free enterprise can solve almost any problem or challenge.
