There are penalties for disposal in environmentally unfriendly ways. I know that there are oil recycling facilities here, but it's not something that gets publicised widely. After all, the trucks that rumble around carting waste oil have to be picking it up from somewhere. I think all Australian state and territory governments have their own version of an EPA (Environmental Protection Authority as it's called here in NSW) which enforces legislation for dumping waste products, including oils. Might see if the local council landfill site accepts waste oils - would be a sensible place to do it.
