How to safely clean up spilled chain oil
Getting the oil into either a container or solid material like paper towel or cloth will prevent it from spreading. It should then be treated as &quot;household hazardous waste&quot;. It is toxic to many creatures (like us if swallowed!) and so it is actually illegal to put it down the drain in most places in the US at least.
Bigger cities/counties in the US usually have household hazardous waste disposal centers/procedures for safely disposing things like paint, oil, solvents and other chemicals, batteries and so forth. They will have instructions on how to &quot;package&quot; it, label it, and where to bring it or set it out for pickup.
