I would be grateful if you would wait until that point if at all you possibly can. It just makes the whole thing work a little easier and it prevents that drop in the pit of my stomach when I see half of the class leave.
There are some systems that actually will take a circle anddrop it just below the surface of the water and have the oil kind of flow into it, almost like a drain, recover it and pump it out.
Furthermore, more people will be unable to afford coverage and will justdrop it, while millions of others will opt for huge deductibles that they will be unable to pay if and when the time comes.
