I use an old Toyota Hi-Ace van as my everyday work vehicle. Its diesel powered and I like to change the oil & filter every 5000 miles. So I dump my Pontiac oil out often with no more than 200 miles up, fresh oil in the Pontiac, old oil & new filter into the Toyota. Interestingly, the Pontiac and the Toyota both use the identical oil filter. There have been many times when I have also put the Pontiac filter into the Toyota. Talk about saving money

You should see if any of your neighbors use a oil furnace for heat. I take mine to my mechanic’s shop and uses it to heat his shop up in the winter

Along those lines...
My shop area is lined with rail road ties. On the rare occasion I have stale fuel I pour it over the RR ties. It stinks for a couple of days. I also poke holes in oil filters and set them on top of them to drain. The wood soaks up all of it. Now getting rid of old coolant, major hassle. You have to make an appointment with the local waste company. A few months ago they had a drive here that took old paint, batteries, coolant etc. That was awesome. I got rid of 6 five gallon buckets of old paint, 15 gallons of old coolant, 2 cases of old florescent bulbs.

I stood on the back seat so I could reach the toy steering wheel and controls that hung on the back of the front seat, so I could 'drive' the car, which was full of cigarette smoke from mom and dad, making it hard to see out the windshield. Great times!! LOL........

New car dealerships/quick lubes around here have waste oil/coolant tanks, o/filter cans outside.
Oil tank may be sealed with a vent, but dump station usually just inside a door. Coolant tanks have 6"-8" screw off cap or flip lid. Have an old 5g jug to store used oil, and dump when 4g full. And a 5g pail with lid for o/filters.

Our recycling center accepts the plastic oil jugs and bottles, as long as they have been drained upside down for 24 hours minimum. This gets every drop out so the oil bottles apparently can be added to the normal recycling stream. Something to ask your recycling centers about...

Whether you can put coolant down the drain will depend somewhat on how the wastewater is treated by your town or city. There are a number of different processes used; for some it won't hurt anything, but for others it could harm the bacteria that's used at the treatment plant to break down the sewage.
