I used to change my own oil. Now I just go to the shop.
As I've told some of you, my area does not make collection easy. We used to have an oil recycling barrel right on the main street next to a gas station. When that stopped, I heard we had one at our local "recycling center." We used to call that 'the dump.' Never found it.
After that, those quickie change places stopped accepting client oil fearing that there would be paint thinner mixed in with the oil. Finally I just stopped playing scavenger hunt with gallon water jugs full of scrap oil and let my wrench do it.
Check your local retail car parts stores, many take used oil too. They usually sell vtwin oil for your bike. I don't know how many of these stores are national chains, Kragen, Chief Auto, ORilley, etc.
