It’s a poison that people may overlook.

Used oil or transmission fluid has the power to destroy and contaminate whatever wildlife it touches.

A man found about 30 gallons of used oil in six buckets in creek beds that were dry near Morris Bridge Road.

Parisi says a business could have thrown the buckets in the creek when it was full of water.
