Blitz 12 quart containers are excellent, very wide mouth, easy to pour into, and I drop the oil off whenever full. I used to use the original jug, but you always spill a bunch because the hole is too small to pour back into.
What do YOU store your used oil in?

I use a 5 gallon jug that came with cooking oil. I have
two of them. Nice wide mouth. I take them to Jiffy Lube
and empty them.

this is exactly what i do, but instead of making a mess, i got clever and started using that same thing i use to pour the oil in the engine..... a funnel!

In my oil bottles and save for my next oil change. Since i feel i change my oil too early.
I have an Ashland 5gallon bucket with a lid...I got it about 8yrs ago when a friend of mine was the manager at a Valvoline Instant Oil Change place..I think bulk gear oil came in it originally?
Anyway it works good...I take it into the parts store and remove the lid & dump it when it gets full. It has the spout but I prefer to just take the whole lid off.

I don't store waste oil but I transport it usually in emtpy windshield washer bottles. We use a lot of windshield washer fluid during the winter months.
Also, I use soda bottles that are cut in half for funnels.
Speaking from experience, oil will eventually eat it's way through plastic milk containers.

Must have one heck of a stash.

If you're CHEAP like me-empty 2-liter pop bottles! Always a bunch lying around, used oil doesn't melt them like milk jugs, it is a little hard to fill them w/out tipping them over, though.

I did the same. The 2-liters bottle is actually has faster flow than funnel.

I keep it in the oil extractor.
I use empty milk bottles to transport. I don't really "store" the oil because I don't want the stuff around, period. The longest I've kept it around is a week when I was doing back-to-back changes on 2 of the cars since I didn't want to make 2 trips to the recycling center.
Locally, I find that the Dominick's Lucerne and Jewel Brand bottles are a little hardier than the cheapo-s from Meijer and Wal-Mart. Some of the Meijer bottles seem to start getting soft as soon as the oil is poured in. Never had one leak, thank goodness.

I pick up the empty fryer oil containers from restaurants. They probably hold 5 gallons or so.
