| 1454348 | 2018-10-12 01:52:00 | Hi guys I have a few cans of old paint and some old containers of motor oil. What would be the easiest way to safely dispose of it, without costing a fortune. The oil could be useful for a guy with an old car. |

Some shops supposedly took old paint but charged disposal fees. perhaps open the tins, let them dry out then throw in the trash. Paint may only be an issue when its liquid & can seep into the ground . |

The oil could be useful for a guy with an old car. Supercheap used to take it and told me to take to the Transfer Station Meleme Street Go past the Transfer Station as you drive in to the Booth which is Maned /Personed ,fill out some details and you will be directed up to the Dump discharge area ,give the Form to the person up there and you will be told where to put the oil If you are over the Mount area try the Transfer Station Te Maunga www.tauranga.govt.nz |
