Default Disposal of oil v oil change

Changed the oil in the bimmer today, and was very pleasantly surprised by a top loading canister filter.. no more struggling underneath the car FTW!

So I've gotta take about 10 gallons of oil to Advance to dispose of, which leads me to this poll.

Do you dispose of it properly or dump it?

Just pour it down the drain. Environmentalists agree.
