Last I knew Greasecar was selling oil, and there was a place over in Ithaca (about a half hour from my house in the wrong direction) selling for about $1 a gallon. I was assuming he's got enough notoriety to be collecting tax, but maybe not. I got into this for liking the idea of "free" fuel. But anymore, I'm not so sure how "free" it is with filters and such...
And, yes some oil is getting thrown out. I know one Chinese place in Hornell, where I work was in trouble at one time cause they were plugging up the sewers with dumping in there. Another chinese place in Corning where I live and was picking up oil from was just putting it back in the cubies and then throwing it in the dumpster. This seemed like a perfect situation to me, but apparently it's still too much effort for them to either call me when they oil, or leave the cubes where I can get them. At one point they said "the neighborhood would think it looked messy". And this is in the location where they already have spilled oil and lots of garbage boxes, etc. And next door is a computer place with a 15 foot tall pile of a couple hundred computer monitors... I should just go talk to them again. My problem is I'm not an outgoing person in the first place, and nothing against chinese people cause I would be worse if I tried to speak Chinese, but it is SO hard talking to them. We're both speaking American, but there's a disconnect somewhere in the middle...
