We have come a long way from when trashing the filter and draining the oil in the sewer was common practice!
Thanks for sharing
A good practice would be for some people to realize that we dont live the stone anymore and oil has come a long way. People should stop changing their oil under 5k. in recent regular cars with every day usage is, when their cars recommend 8k, 10k and even 15k oil changes.... Would be less harmful to the planet and much less waste.
You aware that used oil is simply micro-filtered and re-bottled ? Virtually oil can be re-used forever, they simply add the additives they need for the oil application.

Re-refining into base stock for new lubricating oil - Re-refined oil is dewatered, distilled and hydro-treated to remove contaminants. The resulting product is virtually identical to virgin oil stock and must meet the same American Petroleum Institute (API) standards. Re-refining prolongs the life of the oil resource indefinitely, making this method the gold standard for oil recycling.
Any local business that collects them and recycle them?
Read a bit about it, while you are right, only 10% of used oil gets re-refined to be used again for us to use, the rest goes to other uses such as oil burning.
Also not every garage, person that changes oil disposes of it properly, so I still stand by change your oil less often.
