My cousin briefly worked for one of the major oil change places. He was explicitly instructed in the artful recycling of your existing oil filter and even oil into your own car (Best for the environment AND the shop's bottom line!). He left shortly thereafter.

I hate changing oil on the daily drivers as well. I use a trusted shop that also does all my wheel/tire stuff.

There is one chain here, Oil Can Henry's, that has kind of a neat approach. You stay in your car, they give you a paper to read if you want it, and there's a video monitor of the tech doing the work to your car. So if you see something you don't like, you can take it up with them right there. They're spendy, but still under $30, IIRC.
