Indeed -- in fact, dealing with the used oil and the spent filter are a big reason why I don't change my own oil and filter. Given that it costs about $20-25 to have it done and the materials for it might cost $10-15, it's worth an extra ten bucks to not get yourself all grimy and have to deal with disposing hazardous waste.
I do, on the other hand, change my own air filter. That one is still easy.
