After most of the oil has drained, I slide a cut-open quart container to catch the final drops. This lets me dispose the oil and fish out the drain plug while I let it drip a long time.
In a corner in the garage I keep an "oil change kit". It consists of a 5-gal receptacle, funnel and drain pan parked over it, and a 5-gal bucket that holds the used oil filters and other oily stuff I use, and is also used for transmission flushes.
