I take mine to advance auto parts
Typically, I've noticed lower prices for items purchased via store pick up versus on the shelf in the store.
Order via app/web and store PU FTW.
I used to buy oil filters for $6-$8 from the local stores like Pep Boys or Advance Auto Parts. When I went to the Advance Auto Parts two days ago, I was shocked. Filters are $16 now. I bought the filter from Amazon last year. So not sure when the price went up.
That said, Costco runs this sale every now and then. I "converted" to Kirkland oil about a year and a half ago and am still working off that first salvo of jugs (8), but I know the same deal has come around at least twice since then, meaning don't worry about stocking up too much

So now you're asking for a legal consultation. The logic is laid out in the Title 40, Chapter I, Subchapter R, Part 761. This is the basis of the federal outlines in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) which then points to state mandated procedures. A lot of states, at state level, require retail seller of engine oil to maintain facilities to accept used engine oil. I live in PA and every auto store has a tank in the back where you can dump yours. It is fully recyclable, and that's how promos like this one get so cheap. NJ&MD are the same. In your neck of the woods I've seen the same except CT and NH, but they have a mind of their own on everything, don't they.
In my state this also applies to other harmful chemicals, such as pans and cookware having PFAS/PFOA for example.
What is double aggravating is that losers like Costco reek the benefits of programs like this, without contributing anything. There is a reason why it has to be recycled - otherwise people just burn it and put all the oil additives in the air which later on we breathe and drink.

BTW your reference is about PCB's, not used motor oil.

Again, you could change oil every 1k miles and be super safe but also waste a ton of time and money. The question is the balance of not wasting either but ensuring you're protecting your engine. I'd trust the OEM's - they design the engines, they specify the oil, so it makes sense that they generally should also be able to specify change intervals. Anecdotally I had that BMW I mentioned the OBDC would lean to 18-20k which I thought was crazy, so I changed at 10k and sold the car at 194k only doing minor maintenance to the engine (plugs, 3 coil packs and the cover gasket). I used OE filters and Mobil1. Then I've had several Hondas which the OBDC tends to more like 9k intervals. I use Purolator filters and this oil. Several way past 100k before I sold them off.
Really oil life is a matter that's engine specific and if you really want to get technical you could send a bit of oil off for analysis every 1k or whatnot, look at trends, and decide threshold levels in analysis where it makes sense to change the oil. No doubt the OE's have already done this, but it does depend on driving habits, climate, etc etc. That's a bit much for basically everyone though.
If you're in CT which one do you go to? I frequent the South Windsor and East Lyme stores because they are convenient, and they are very rarely how some people on SD describe their local Costco, and I'm usually there on Saturdays or Sundays, or on the way home from work during the week.
My car oem recommendation is 10k from get go. High quality oils 15-25k nonissue
But I did 15k with amsoil signature despite rating 25k bc oil filter shouldn't go over 15k
But I'm doing 10k now w Toyota filter + Mobil 1 afe 0w20 at Costco after I kill off my remaining 20 quarts of extended protection Mobil 1 from prior Mobil 1 sale at Walmart
