Do you get any $$$ back, from what you bring in? 

Not now that gas prices are down, at least for me anyway. I have a oil recycler that picks it up (250 gallon tank in the garage) when fuel prices were up I got $140.00 for the tank load, gas prices went down now I get $0. As long as they take it I really don't care.

Joe.  My feeble, morning brain would like to know, how do you get the oil in the tank?  Also, isn't 250 gallons a tad excessive?

Carl, drain pans, I usually take 15 quarts at a time from the coach, put the plug in, slide the other pan under and pull the plug for the remaining. My tank has a large vented funnel on top I can dump the pan into the funnel and let it sit and drip dry. My drain pans are 20 quart with 1/4 of the top opening closed off and a spout, similar to the photo below. I also poke a hole in the filter and let them sit up in the funnel for a few days to drain the remaining oil out.

Its an old home heating oil tank, wall hugger type, got it for free.
