How far does this go? If you have a riding lawnmower you have to change the oil in that too. Are we forcing people to spend money to haul their mower to a shop to get the oil changed? ATVs?

I'm completely against this. You're expecting poor people to pay for things they can do themselves if they're willing just because a few people dump oil in their weeds at night. Your freon argument doesn't sway me either. Wrecks cause freon dumps all the time. Your neighbor pulling freon out of one car isn't causing that much environment damage.

Also: if you're concerned about it, report them.

I wonder if the solution here is entirely different. Maybe instead of asking what-ifs per-se we ask, "well, why would someone not do it the proper way." The answer there is, whether justified or not, the current process is too much of a "hassle" (I don't see it as such but for someone dumping motor oil down storm drains for them it apparently is). We can't make them do the current process that is more of a "hassle." So how do we make a more "hassle-free" process? Maybe like garbage, one Wednesday a month, the recycling/garbage company picks up jugs of fluids? We have an existing process, so maybe we just rope one more thing into. The county/city already does garbage pickup and disposal, why not fluids?
