I drop the oil & filter off at the local 15 min oil change shop. I do it after hours & leave it at the door - you never know when they are going to be grumpy about accepting it.

I toss my filter (after it drains for a day or so)

When i moved to STL theres an advance on my corner and as you walk in on the door there is a little sign that says "we recycle used motor oil" or something to that effect.
