Take it to the dump. Most oil drainers carry about 12 litres anyway, so you'll get a few years worth before you actually need to take it to the dump anyway

Most tips will take it off you. Don't dump or burn it.

that did cross my mind at one point. I would have got this service done about 4k ago when it was due if it wasnt for this oil crisis

It's just a drain can, they are just big jerry can type things with a drain tray built into them. They tip will take it for 'free'. They are funded by the council so technically you are already paying for the service.
