Just changed my fork oil seals, fork oil and threw in some Racetech springs. What do I do with the old fork oil? Can I take it to the same places that accept engine oil?

I take mine to the engine oil drop off. I leave it in the fork oil bottle so they know it's different. They haven't complained yet!  :)

Mine gets dumped into the rest of my used oil that I store in a 5 gallon container. It is the same stuff.
