Alan de Enfield Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Put it alongside the 'waste oil-recovery' area at the refuse tip (or many marinas have a dedicated area for oil waste) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boater Sam Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Calcutt have waste oils tanks, they have always taken mine without charge. Is there a council/private recycling place on the route? Google? There is always STREETHAY WHARF and I bet CHARITY DOCK at Bedworth have a waste oil burner.

Waste oil is one thing. lighter distillates such as diesel, petrol and white spirit are something else and are often refused by recycling sites.

Some years ago I was going to Florida for a meeting, my Secretary made the bookings and just before I went I checked the tickets - instead of Naples (Florida) It appeared that I was actually booked to Naples (Italy). Managed to get things changed in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately I spotted in time that they’d booked me from Birmingham Alabama as opposed to Birmingham West Midlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
