    The fact that that happens is not a reason to allow free dumping into the storm drains though. There’s not a ready solution for motor oil drips that happen to leak from a truck. There is a solution to homeowners wanting to dispose of 4 quarts of oil after an oil change.

    The dumping laws make sense, this was just a stupid application of them.

        Yeah and even though I live in a county that has a free and easy hazardous waste dropoff service, it’s still a pain to drive out there. I’m sure a lot of people who care less than me still dump shit in the ground because their grandpa did it that way. And many cities and counties won’t even offer a hazardous waste service…
