In PA, the auto stores that sell oil typically take the used oil.
As for draining the oil, there are other ways. There are several companies that sell a device that sucks the oil up through the dipstick tube. When done properly, it can do a better job than through the drain plug. Many boat and motorcycle owners use this method, as well as factory trained mechanics for a few of the luxury brands. This method reduces the likelihood of a mess. If the oil filter is easily accessible, you may not even need ramps to change it. (Newer Toyota 4runners have the oil filter on top of the engine.)
