I'm getting a lot of mixed answers on this, so ...

Where would I dispose of used motor oil? (It's in a closed container ... relax.) Is there a place to do this in town?

I'm sure just about any oil-changing-place will take it, or....

I just save mine and take it to one of Michael's house-hold-pollutant days at the fairgrounds. One is held in the spring and another in the fall.

O'reilly's will take it (at least the one in Sand Springs). That's where I take mine. I'm sure other parts stores will also.

We take used motor oil at each of our recycling centers seven days a week now.

Here is a list of locations...

I believe the depot near Warehouse Market at 51st and Union is the closest one to your home.

There are some restrictions. I cannot accept motor oil from commercial establishments and we have a five gallon per day limit.

It shouldnt be a problem. There is quite a market for used motor oil. Tank truck companies pick it up from repair shops for free.
It is in demand for use in asphalt mfg.
