A question for farmers and small business owners..

If you wind up with some (15 or 20) five gallon buckets of various substances (lubricant, tar, whatever) and a few larger barrels (55 gal-ish), where do you dispose them?

The company that supplies our dumpsters, of course, specifically disallows such.

thnx

Go to Wal Mart. See that lifted truck? They would LOVE some five gallon buckets!

O'reillys auto parts takes used oil, lubricants and antifreeze but I don't know abour tar or chemicals. You'll probably have to go elsewhere for disposing the 55 gallon drums.
I wish I knew someone who would take my latex paint.

Save that tar for the politicians

OKC has a city disposal site that's free for residents. I imagine Tulsa would have the same. If you aren't a resident though they'll likely charge. I'm Yukon and we can use OKC, but they charge through the nose.

tulsa has a facility specifically for this purpose. household pollutants, spray paint, chemicals etc. I think the re-home store takes it as well to mix and make the bulk paint they sell.

Midwest City also has a toxic waste disposal place. Gotta take a utility bill to show your in one of the contracted cities they take however.

Paint: Line a tray with plastic. Pour the paint in let it dry. Legal to dispose In the trash after it's dry. Some Kitty
Litter helps speed the process.
Plastic keeps from trashing the tray.
