Your friendly neighborhood Walmart will take them along with your used oil. I have given Walmart lots of used oil and filters, but to this day, have still not purchased a single item from them.
Trash
After they are drained, why can't they go into the trash?
I drain mine for a day or so and then it's into the garbage.

I cut mine open for inspection which gets 99% of the oil out then toss into the big trash can.
There is prob more oil in the rags that I use to wipe all the oil out of my drainpan before I store it...
The local Lube places have a crusher that they put the filters into that gets the oil out then toss into the trash.
Take care, Bill

"they" say if you puncture the domed end you'll get more oil out. Then toss the remainder in the trash. I have also pried open the ADBV and dribbled more oil out of the things.
My trash goes to an incinerator anyway, so a little oil will do no harm.

I burn mine in my tree limb pile. Always picking up fallen tree limbs. So when I burn the limbs I burn the used Frantz bypass filters and the Full Flow Cannisters. Then I throw the metal shell in the trash.

I've just been throwing mine in the trash. I've got the cartridge style oil filter. I usually let them drain for a few weeks (leave them on drain collector). Should get a lot of the oil out.
Your local quick lube.
I drill the dome end, let drain, often until the next oil change, and then recycle with the tin cans. Many I cut open first.

Only Walmarts with an auto service center will take them, correct? The closest Walmart to me does NOT have an auto center, but the one about 10 miles further does.quote:

I'm not going to tell you to drive 10 miles to dispose of an oil filter. I think the main thing they want (various government agencies) is for you to drain the filter for 24 hours. At least that's what I was told when I worked at a Toyota dealership.
