Default Need a good oil change shop / place to dispose of oil

Need to have my oil changed pretty desperately, but I'm looking for somewhere that actually uses good quality oil. I.E. Mobil 1 high mileage synthetic. (It's what I always use and it works great, if you want to recommend something else go ahead.) I'm trying to do this on the cheap too, so it'd be great if they would just change the oil and not offer all the other crap like vacuuming your car and topping off the windshield wiper fluid. So under $30 preferably...

Or, if I have to change it myself, I need a place to dispose of the oil. And don't flame; of course I can change my own oil but I've never had to dispose of it because my dad works for an oil company and they took it. I'm guessing oil change shops will take it, but for how much?

Any suggestions?

put the oil in a gallon milk carton, duct tape the top on, throw it in your trash can.

Buy your own oil and take it to any shop.

Dumps have recycling centers. You can also bring it to any Wal-Mart that does oil changes, most Jiffy Lube places, etc. Oil is recyclable. If you toss it in the trash, you could face an environmental fine.

If you are going to change your oil youself, you could take it to those places listed above and I also know that Advance Auto has containers to dump old oil in.

I'm pretty sure any Napa will take and dispose your oil, costs like $2 or $3. I've never actually done it, someone told me they do (I've had oil sitting in my garage for about three months now, damn I'm a procrastinator).
