How are people disposing of old engine oil?

I’m sure they told me it gets cleaned and used for heating oil, I don’t think it gets used for lubricants.
Have to confess the other day I needed to scrape the cows after they had been housed with the little 35 year old Kramer which has a Deutz 2 cyl engine.
Dipped the oil and nothing on the stick (it does leak a bit
) so intending to give it an oil change I got half a gallon from the waste oil drum.Never done it before but can’t see it doing much harm in the short term.
I‘m pretty hot with the tractor oils,too damn expensive to get wrong.

Can't believe it. This year will be the first time in 30 yrs that I haven't contributed in some form to guy fawkes night bonfire. Landlady of the field has forebade it on the grounds of corona. Absolutely no idea what to do with old oil and dirty red. Gutted.

I think Silkoline used to reuse aeroplane oil, my father used to buy it. Based in Belper, Derbyshire if I remember correctly.Silkolin (sp)(even though they used to sponsor me
Took mine down to the recycling centre yesterday. Not too much (2 dumpy bags very full and well packed and all dry), plus a bag of cement and feed sacks and a load of fertilizer sacks. Weighed me in and out. 200 kilos of plastic so £40Never mind that,what about the bale wrap?

Are you saying that Guy Fawkes and his merry men were going to blow up parliament with barrels of old engine oil?
