"Hi, I’m Dean Donnel for expertvillage.com. Now what we’re going to do is talk about the cleanup. It’s important to recycle your oil to protect the environment. What I like to do is I like to use these plastic jugs here to recycle it. You can use a solid color one but I prefer to use a clear one because you can see the oil and it won’t spill out all over the place. I also want to use a large funnel when I drain the oil into the jug, this makes it easier and cleaner and avoid spilling and making a mess. Also you can recycle your oil filter as long as all the oil is removed from it. Your court plastic oil cans you can recycle in your trash. Now we’re going to pour the oil into the jug, I’m pouring it in slowly so we don’t make a big mess here but it is a lot easier when you use a large funnel like the one I’m using. Okay, that’s it and we’re done, the last thing we need to do is clean our hands and the best thing to use for that is a lanolin base hand cleaner. Because it breaks up the grease fast and it’s an easy cleanup. That’s how we do a cleanup after an oil change."

on 8/2/2008 What do you do with the milk jug once you're done pouring the used oil in it? Can you put it in trash or do you need to take it somewhere for recycling?
