Went to Burnaby Eco Centre a couple weeks ago. Dropped off at least 10 jugs of old Rotella/Mobil 1/Toyota oil and brought some spare empty bottles too. Easy process as they have a big black container with a mesh grill that you pour the oil into and also have a garbage bag you can recycle your empty bottles right next to it. Went after lunch during the weekday and weren't many people there and 2 attendants walking up and down asking if you needed help.
Signs were clearly labeled. Nice and clean facility.

City of Richmond's website says the RR on Vulcan Way accepts oil. The Regional Recycling website says they don't when you use their search, but if you go to the Richmond location and download the pdf of what they accept, it says they do accept oil. The phone # listed on their site doesn't work and I've emailed them with no response.
I ended up going to Jiffy Lube on #4 and they took 10L w/o any problems.

Ok I have a super noob question that I Google'd and couldn't figure out, kinda relevant to this thread. If I am planning on flushing my tranny fluid, diff fluid, and engine oil, do I need to keep them in three separate drain pans? Or can they all be in the same one?

all the oils are going into the same drum anyway at the recycle depot
anything clear (coolant) goes in the one next to it
we had a dude watching us last time - accidentally started pouring some coolant into the oil drum and he sent us over to the other one
i'm still salty I can't get rid of fluids on the north shore
