Abstract
A device for collecting oil contained in plastic containers that are placed inside a housing that includes a puncturing assembly mounted to a slanted platform. The platform has a central opening through which the discharged oil passes. A flexible conduit is connected to the outlet in the housing at one end and the other end of the flexible conduit is connected to a storage tank with sufficient capacity to store a substantial amount of oil. A hingedly mounted cover in said housing helps in the urging and pressing of the plastic container against the puncturing assembly. The puncturing assembly includes a separator to ensure the faster rate of unit flow of the oil from the container.
