I use a double bucket method.  I take on of the half size pool buckets that is maybe 3 gallon size and drill a lot of holes in the bottom.  I them drop in a bunch of small rounded pebbles to allow air space on the bottom of that bag to allow the oil to drain better.  I then put the half bucket into a larger 6 gallon bucket and the lip keeps it from dropping all the way in so the nest.  Then I take my brown paper grocery bag put in the half bucket and muck my saw.  All the oil drains into the larger bucket and i simply lift out the half bucket when done.

As a follow up when I want to get the last bit of oil out of the muck after it drains as far as it can, is to fold over the tops of the brown paper bag to cover the muck and put a 3rd bucket down into the half bucket with the muck bag still in it and load the 3rd bucket with a lot of rock and then wait a couple months before emptying.  The added weight of the 3rd bucket on the muck bag compresses the muck and gets as much oil as I can before throwing the hard muck cake away.

Even though mineral oil and rock originally came from the earth and it's okay to dispose of it back there in rock sludge form, I like to place my paper bag full of rock sludge in my fire pit and use it as firestarter. All of the oil burns out as kindling to large wood chunks leaving dry rock dust in its place. 

Also works great to burn-out stumps too.
