I got an oil change in 1996 at small place in south Austin. An environmentally conscious guy came in and asked if he could dispose of his used oil in the shop's collection tank, and the owner told him that he should just pour it down the nearest storm drain.
Lol, I have this graphic in my office. Part of my job is addressing site contamination. When people complain about why they need to investigate for contamination, I show them this.
