Brian Eslick from How to Automotive http://www.howtoautomotive.com shows you how to stay in compliance with the EPA by explaining how to drain and dispose of used motor oil bottles.

 Various oily wastes are generated when performing vehicle maintenance operations, including used oil drained from the engine, the oil filter, and even oil absorbent used to clean up oil that has spilled on the floor.  At one time these wastes were placed in landfills.  Concerns with oil from these wastes migrating into surface and groundwater has prompted a number of state and federal regulatory agencies to restrict these materials from landfills.

Unfortunately, one component from this process has been overlooked—the “empty” plastic oil bottle.  It has been shown that an “empty” 1-quart plastic bottle contains 1 to 2 ounces of oil.  It has been estimated that 2 billion bottles are disposed of annually, the majority in sanitary landfills.  An estimated 260 million pounds of recyclable plastic and an estimated 16 million gallons of recyclable oil are thrown away each year.
