Yeah stix mill dump have a oil/battery etc dump, you go into the recycling bit on the left as you go in.

Or like Al said, petrol stations should have oil dumps.

I took all mine to the Sockburn dump. Head down the driveway, turn right into the recycling part of it, just to the right of the main building there's a little shack with "Waste Oil" written on it. You're allowed to dump 20L max at a time.
