There is no oil drilling in the Chesapeake bay and it has plenty of
oil pollution, largely from the same source. People flushing used oil
down the toilet is another problem.


People flush used oil down the toilet? That must make an awful mess of
the toilet, I've never heard of such a thing.

Around here any autoparts store will take used oil for free. I just
collect it in a 5 gallon jug and when it starts to get full I drop it by
and pour it in the collection tank. Some people have waste oil heaters
to heat their shops or homes, if I had more used oil I'd look into
something like that.
