I like your setup. I'm kind of going to opposite way. I have a wire rack mounted to the wall, think it was made for fruit on the counter. Throw my funnels in there and used filters to drain. Also have a spot above it for drain pans to hang and drain. Under the wire rack I have one of this square drain pans to catch the oil that drops from the wire shelf, also use the square drain pan for things like trans fluid when I pull a pan without a drain. https://www.amazon.com/Lisle-17892-Transmission-Drain-Pan/dp/B0002SR6WA/?tag=atomicindus08-20. This drains into a bucket with a wide mouth funnel. I'm thinking about redoing a few things and making a drain out of PVC that drains into buckets or thinking about using old 5 gallon gas cans that I have a bunch of extra ones. Once pails are full I switch it out and when I have a few I take them to dispose of.Final update for the haters
Repurposed an old welding cart I made a long time ago. Back half will be for drain pan and funnel storage. Done.
I've thought about doing something like you did but couldn't come up with an idea for a setup that would work for me. Still have to store the 5 gallon pails or whatever you are using to take it to dispose of anyway. In the end I just went with the setup I have now and works decent.

It came outta the earth so it's gotta go back in.If it’s good enough for Popular Mechanics it’s good enough for me.

I would like one of these but they kill you on the shipping! Zoro has one that covers half, for a reasonable price, and free shipping.I have one of these totes inside my shop, but I don't have the topper.
