I like the non-ferrous guy I go to (I think there are only 2 places in this town of 170K+ people on the outskirts) that will take such scrap (and only 1 that will take steel). He just doesn't like to have excess oil oozing around and he must not have a market with guys who want the oil (he's (we're) out here away from most industrial uses and its 3-4 hours to Mpls. or Omaha, or Des Moines so his contacts may be more limited than places within big metro areas or near multiple metro areas).



I drill 2-3 holes in the bottom, let them drain overnight or so in a plastic oil pan, wipe them off later, and put them into a tub until I have a few built up. It works out pretty good for me.
