dirty motor oil disposal

Wal-Mart has clearly gone berserk by raising the price of their oil changes from sixteen to thirty dollars which priced me out. For about 13.44 you can buy the 5-qts oil and filter and go crawl under the car yourself.

Rather than stashing the old oil in a kitchen trash bag, and surrepticiously sending it to the Bethlehem land fill, what local business is happy to accept a 5-qt plastic bottle of dirty motor oil? The Meredith transfer station says 'no way.' One would think they would take the stuff and then transfer it, but they do not.
