Where does oil go? It is refined and used as industrial fuel oil or lubricants.

According to the Environment Agency (EA), oil accounts for 25% of all pollution incidents. Do not pour oil into drains as most drains link to watercourses which become polluted. Recycle oil and filters at an oil bank, or in the case of large quantities should be collected by a registered contractor who will buy it.
