I finally got fed up with the mess of handling the used oil from the trucks and tractors. My process has been to put the oil in the used 2.5 gallon jugs from chemicals and store them until they accumulate. Then make a trip to the county recycling facility. Handling those messy drippy jugs gets old real quick, plus they are always in the way, etc.
Looking for an alternative, I found a 20 gallon steel drum on rollers at the local HF store. It is made with an extendable funnel to use under a car lift, but it is perfect to pore the oil in and store it until time to empty. Now comes the good part. To empty, just hook it up to an air bottle with the quick connect air fitting and put the nozzle in the recycle container and let it go. No mess. Of course it helps that the recycle facility I use is where you can drive right up to it and the hose is about 10 feet long.
My cost was just over $100 with the 20% discount coupon. I'm a happy camper. Check it out at: http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result/?category=&q=oil+drain
