Brand new oil, as in right out of the bottle, isn't really hazardous. It does become hazardous after putting it into the engine. The oil picks up unburned hydrocarbons which can be very hazardous.

Where you put your engine oil into?

Put your old engine oil into an empty oil jug (save your jug from previous oil change) and drop it off at the hazardous waste section at your local dump. If you are fortunate, then your town might host a hazardous waste drop off at a public place... And that's free. Most places that sell engine oil will take your used oil and recycle it for you free. Now if you are asking where to pour oil into the engine when changing the oil, look on the valve cover for an oil fill cap. On modern engines it will even list the correct weight. If you cannot find the oil fill cap then drive to an auto repair shop and they will show you where the oil fill cap is. You might want to pay them to change it while you are there and show you what should be done.
