As far as the oil filters, these have to be burned before the yard will accept. This puts a scraper in a tough position, either add to global warming (it is below zero here) or take them to the landfill to pollute the land. Take a guess as to what we do.
    At Schnitzer here in Portland I turn in lawn mowers and Snow blowers , they said no gas but the oil was fine ?
