They're harder to find sometimes, but when you do they're worth asking about.

We pump the oil into those orange buckets just as back-up oil. We have no option but to pour it in. But it is only 20 gallons worth, so it doesn't take that long. Interesting comment by the way. We haven't heard that one yet.. James,

Anyway, a recent story I heard from a friend with a WVO Jetta he converted himself is that some collection companies spread misinformation to the effect that if a restaurant gives their oil to an individual, and their car is damaged by impurities or whatever, the person can sue the restaurant. Naturally, these companies claim to indemnify the restaurants against such losses as part of their contract, but it's a total invention. So that might explain some of the resistance you're getting, in addition to offering zero in a paying market. He got this from a restauranteur who hemmed and hawed and final said why he'd rather not.
