where to dispose engine coolant/anti freeze

[andylawcc]

autozone won't take it. and I don't think any autoshop will want to take care of the mess. so where can I go.

oh, what's the amount of coolant should I expect when i pull the drain plug. I am thinking of using my 10 gallon used oil container. would it be enough?

where should I ask about it, or, how do I find them. the City Hall?

I searched in yahoo's yellowpage and found mostly private companies (not sure will they take care, will have to call). meanwhile, the Public ones i found are a bit too far from my home.

 

What city do you live in?

flush down toilet.

Proper unless you use a septic system.

Rosemead, San Gabriel, Pasadena, West Arcadia are within my vincinity
Alhambra and Monterey Park is a tad bit far off but I go there frequently so its okay.

Just take it over to Highland Park and dump it in the middle of the street. They change their oil and let it run down the gutter anyway.

Call any major city office and inform them of what you need. Regardless of which office you call, they should know who you need to talk to. Often your city or county will have a website with all the info you need.

The local autoparts stores have always taken mine. Just gets dumped in with their oil.

parts stores, some local gas stations, city/county dump.

Should get about 1 1/2 gallons out of there. Probably less.

most cities waste management can handle it fine. just pour it down the drain. it's only hazardous in high amounts.

I was waiting for that. Each post, I'm like "No, not this one...scrolling down...no, not this one...scrolling down"

I mean, it's ATOT. I KNEW that was coming!

(And I...uhh...wasn't checking because I was going to post it or anything. I mean, that'd be *wrong*. :Q )

Actually anti-freeze makes a very good nutrition supplement for you cat or dog. Just put it in their water bowl

 

[Insane3D]

I'm thinking if most of you saw the effects of an animal that drinks antifreeze, and how they die, you might not make light of it.


Oh wait....this is ATOT...nevermind.

 

[chrisms]

My dog almost drank some.. I think I would've just stomped on it's head if that happened to put it out ofits misery
