Back then they should just let the oil go on the side of road. No need to capture it

  That reminds me of the Popular Science garage hint from 1963, explaining how to easily dispose of used motor oil: Dig a hole in the ground and fill it with fine gravel. Pour in the oil, and it will be absorbed into the ground before your next oil change. https://books.google.com/books?id=myADAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA166#v=onepage&q&f=false https://books.google.com/books?id=myADAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA166#v=on...

    Different times indeed. The Swedish government created this informational video in 1964 on how to properly dispose of your trash when at sea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t03saJVFkv4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t03saJVFkv4. Apparently the trick is to make the trash sink rather than float.

      People were doing it, at least make sure they do a good job.

      You can also see in the video how much clearer the water was then. Very sad.
