We dumped it on ant beds or along the fence row in the field when I was growing up

There was a park next to my place when I was in high school that had stands of trees here and there.
There are gallons of old oil in the middle of the trees closest to my house.

We treated fence posts and such with it.

Dad retired from Citgo. He taught me how to properly dispose of used oils: always buy a house near a storm drain!

You're supposed to change your oil?

No. Just top it off now and then.

Just returning it back to its original home - the ground. Environmentalists should appreciate the favor.

You use it to start the fire on the burn pile obviously.

Poured at the bottom of the utility pole in our backyard.

Grew up on a street in Zachary with a canal behind one side. We used to walk the concrete canal to get to the wooded area and "bayou" at the end of the street. Every single house had a oil trail running down from the fence line. It was just what you did.

I dump it in the shape of dicks in my neighbor's yard.
