Hi all,
I have had this question for some time now. Every shop, or at least most shops, should be skimming the oil from their coolant tanks. We do the same and the skimmed oil/coolant gets put into either 5 gallon buckets or a 55 gallon drum. The question is what to do with that skimmed material after its in the barrels. At one time we had a company pick up the oil but they charged us for the service. Is there a company that will gladly accept the barrels of oil without charge? If not whats the next option? We could take 5 gallons a day to auto parts stores around the area, but I've heard they don't like that since its not fluids that are coming from cars.
