Now that you have the GUNK out of the parts cleaner,


What are you going to do with your GUNK?

Go to your local hazardous waste recycling center with that pan and say, "I just bought a house and found this pan of GUNK in the garage."

Looks like you have a pet dinasaur that hasn't been eating right. I don't know though. May be normal for a dinasaur.

Autozone used to take waste oil for free.

You could also try one of those drive though oil change places. In the winter they heat the shop with the used oil and sometimes don't have enough. Not sure if that bucket qualifies though..,.

Add some radiation to the GUNK........


Then it will ooze away and it's no longer your problem...

Yes.... "big city" living does have advantages... like free curb-side pick-up for "recycle-able" items, including used motor oil & oil filters. Very Happy

You have to "play by the rules" and that means that the oil must be in a "sealed plastic container" with a screw top and the oil filter must be in their "city issued" HD zip-loc plastic bag. (there is no $$ in collecting used oil filters but they don't want them in the land fill or "popping" in the back of the collection trucks)
Follow their rules... and just put the stuff at the curb on trash day and it gets picked-up.

As long as my automotive "goop" goes into the jug, it "goes away"... I sometimes add a little used oil to it, in order to "hide" real funny stuff but in general, they don't seem to care much about what's in the container.

I had more trouble with getting enough of the "special" oil filter bags to keep-up with my oil filter rate-of-use. I just kept an eye out for the pick-up "recycling technician" and when I saw him, gave him a bottled water and asked for some extra bags... he gave me a large stack of them with-out batting an eye.
My tax payer dollars, hard at work... Laughing

Not in an oil burner, no, but if incinerated the water and oil are gone and the rest is fairly inert except for whatever heavy metals there may be, but it's mostly dirt.

I put about 3 gallons of water in the bottom of my reservoir (one of those skinny 20 gallon oil drums) and put the solvent on top. The solvent floats on the water, and the dirt and metal drop out of the solvent and collect in the water.

Once every blue moon I pour the (still clean) solvent off the water, and dispose of the water and sludge. Because there is no solvent in the sludge, it's pretty easy to dispose of.

Learned that from a motorcycle shop. My parts solvent lasts for EVAR!
