Now I use a 5 gallon container intended for kerosene. I wrote "waste
oil" on it with permanent marker.
It's a plastic jug, ~ 2" dia fill and a vent opening.
Same here.
I have two "kerosene" jugs (I was given them, but I've seen them at an
Ace hardware store for under $10). I use one for oil, and the other for
anti-freeze. I take them to the local transfer station (dump), and pour
the contents into the appropriate tanks.
My oil catch pan has a closable drain, and a spout on the side. The
spout fits into the large opening on the jugs and I don't spill a drop.
My used brake fluid gets carried over to the transfer station's
"hazardous waste" counter, where they take it and do their magic with it
(last time I was there someone had "thrown away" 5 old cans of R12 - I
"recycled" them back to my garage).
