you should be able to get a proper oil changing pan from car accessory places like halfords that comes with a spout so you can pour it straight into a empty can.
or use a cat litter tray.

I usually use an old roasting tin that I liberated from an old student house I lived in - it was rusty, the non-stick was flaking off and people were still eating out of it, I think I did them a service. Plenty of capacity for a bike oil change.
Cut off the top half of any plastic bottle and you have a nice funnel.
And I tend to keep my old oil (imaginatively enough) in old oil bottles until I build up enough to justify a trip to the tip to pour them away.
