Today’s C & C column discussed the oil change vendor charging to “recycle” the customer’s oil filter. If it had been me, I would have asked to take the used oil filter with me, store it in my garage until I had a half-dozen, and then take them to my county’s recycling center along with used motor oil. My county Anoka, MN) doesn’t charge to bring in old oil filters.
