Of course. What do you think happens to it on a windshield? Goes into the ecosystem.

Not in it's original form. The EPA will tell you to dilute it to a 10:1 ratio and poor it down sanitary sewer drain. The sewer has bacteria that can brake down the anti-freeze toxins.

Well, of course you can. You just tip the bottle up and down it goes!

The question is, should you....

So can you poor it down your sink if you're running the tap? What's a sanitary sewer drain? Seems a lot easier to run it down my driveway and let the neighborhood pets have a god at it

Sanitary Sewer would be where you sh!t goes . Legally you can pour just about anything down the drain you want to (as long as it is for personal use), as it is covered under Hazardous Household Waste waiver with the EPA.

Would it also include biohazard from the HCl baths I make my victims take?

 

[Zorba]

Yes it includes both . Even bio-haz

Washer fluid is fine

 

[CraigRT]

well you can shoot it all over your windshield and have it drip all over the ground and stuff when you drive, so i am sure you can pour it down the drain.

Why would you want to throw windshield fluid down the drain?

 

[Amused]

Dammit, why would you want to go and do that when I'm out of washer fluid? (light came on last night). Run over here and fill up my washer reservoir.
