They sell those cardboard boxes for recycled oil in this state, but they are actually illegal, I think. Used motor oil isn't supposed to go into the landfill.

What folks are supposed to do is put the used oil in the container the new oil came in - most of it comes in plastic screw top cartons these days that can be reused - and drop it off at an approved recycle station. Although what most folks actually do, is reuse the container and put it off to the side at the transfer station. Then when the County folks come to take the full containers at the transfer station they take the used oil containers off to the recycle stations where it was supposed to go.
