You can usually take it to any oil change facility or even an AutoZone (or some other parts store) and they will PROPERLY dispose of it for you. The fact that you were dumping it down the storm drain makes me think you should probably just be taking the car in for the service…

Use it as an enema

so this story still doesn’t answer my biggest question: how to I get rid of the old motor oil when I’m done changing it? A cop gave me a warning last week when he saw me putting it down the storm drain, but I don’t know where else to take it. It’s not like I can stick it in a trash bag and give it to the garbage guy. My wife gets pissed when I put it down the bathtub drain too.. Apparently it’s a pretty nasty fine. Anyone know what I’m supposed to be doing here? I’ve got a lot built up between our two cars…
