Description
This was the most shocking part of the exploration. My girlfriend's house pulls its water from a well. Here are about 70 or 80 gallons of waste motor oil. I am calling the NJDEC about this, because it's just not safe to the neighbors who have well water. Note that some of the jugs aren't even capped. Some of them are empty. They are empty because they already spilled. One jug sits with its top half cracked off, with about a half gallon of motor oil still inside it.

  His name was Fred, and he didn't drive any time recently. This waste oil was probably from armada of lawn care and landscaping equipment that he kept. Actually, his wife's car was rotting away in the rear of the property (not pictured).

  At least this wasn't just spilled down the drain, but should be cleaned up.

  I'd go insane if allI had was regular oil changes on the yardmaster, no friends, A house rapidly filling with detritus, no purpose in life; oh god I never want to retire
To all you young pups out there and I'm talking sub twenty! ; Choose your course in life early or you'll end up like me. Yeah I make good money, but my life's dreams have been left behind. I have a mother and Father, but Bizzy holds me together.
I',m not going to tell you young punks to get an education, I',,m simply going to say get training that makes you some Dinero.I can almost guarantee that most liberal arts majors make less than Joe the Plumber. Why? because Joe is in High demand, Sally the Polysci major is not.

  His milk jug/ oil collection area is one of the more organized areas of the property.

  InNeed- I would definately call the DEC in your area.
Don't know how long Fred had those containers there!

  My first thought when I looked at the picture was of Howard Hughes urinating into mason jars in his later years and storing them in his apartment.

  Yikes! It's like a mini superfund site out there!

  Anyone know, did this ever get cleaned up? This much oil especially near a well should have set off immediate action when you guys called it in. Wells = Immediate Groundwater contamination routes. This much oil could pollute the ground water for miles.

  Yeah! bring out the car!

  We're all worrying about the oil, jesus lets recognize the man, and fix that for christ sakes. Maybe we'll have less oil and wars that way.
