Autozone takes used oil. At least they did 3 months ago when I disposed of my used cart and vehicle used oil.

Never had auto parts store tell me that. They sell used oil.

Never had a problem with any auto parts store. If they sell it they will take it. I use O’Reilly’s on 301 in WILDWOOD. Never had a problem.

It's part of their corporate environmental responsibility to recycle but they do allow exceptions.

So forewarned, I wouldn't buy oil anyplace that will not accept the used oil back.
