The second: (a small transmission repair shop) They get paid $1/gal for WATF and they have to have the recycler sign off on paper for the state or whatever.
My question to y'all is how do you procure waste oil and is it just my state that has some kind of regulation on its disposal? Any suggestions are helpful as I want to start blending higher concentrations of WMO/WATF. I currently only burn what I have saved from past oil changes and that has been long gone for a while now.
I will post this on other forums as well to garner more opinions.
Thanks!

keep bugging them, I have been getting between 5 and 20 gallons a week from a garage i know, i know that's a big difference but it does swing that much from week to week.
Just today i picked up a place that does transmission repair, he said usually 10 to 20 gallons a week, he actually go hold of me through my friends shop.
