I'm glad they are keeping it out of the landfills.

Sure wish we had that option! Most of the city disposal sites are shuttered. They made another law a few years ago that said the lube shops had to take it but we have to drop it off there. I don't mind that as my son works at the local Toyota Express facility. He keeps forgetting however..
What really bothers me about this is the technicality. If you change your own oil you can't even legally clean the drain pan without bagging the rags and hauling them to the "bio-pile" (which I've never even seen). Routine service work/leak cleanup are specifically included as prohibited per the bill. That, to me says, almost any work I do on a vehicle that generates greasy towels will now be illegal?
Umm, to top it off, oily rags/towels are just what I want sitting in the garage waiting to be hauled to a recycler. NOT! What's next? Requiring every garage have a fire suppression container? Funny, I sure thought CA would invent crap like this first!
Oh, and the other thing.. $50 first offense, $200 second and $2000 beyond..
