How do i dispose small amounts of motor oil properly?

My dad just got his Honda civic's oil changed yesterday. Today, this morning, i find a very very small puddle of oil where his car usually is in our garage. I was thinking of wiping it with clorox wipes but how do i dispose of it safely. Need a good answer ASAP for safety purposes. Thank you.How do i dispose small amounts of motor oil properly?
There's no ';safety issue'; to speak of. Simply put a piece of cardboard where the oil spot was to soak up any future drips. Have your father return to the place he got the oil change. They may find that they didn't install the oil filter or drain plug properly especially if it wasn't leaking oil before the oil change. If it always leaked oil, have a repair shop locate the oil leak using oil dye and a black lightHow do i dispose small amounts of motor oil properly?

Wipe it up and throw it in the trash. If you've got a quart or more, not on paper towels, but like in a container take it to any place that changes oil they will dump it in their reclamation pit.
try to spread bundle of sand or wooden ';flake'; to soak up the lubricant oil and dispose it accordingly.
Auto stores take used motor oil.
wipe up what you can and then throw some kitty liter on it. the kitty liter will soak up the rest.
