Where to dispose of antifreeze?

[mrdonut12]

Steve,
Call your local health dept. and ask them about used
coolant. Here in Lincoln, they're fine with us putting it
down the drain as long as we put 5 gallons of water with
every gallon of coolant.
I have mine collected and recycled.
You might find the cleanest, brightest, nicest looking
auto shop in the area and ask them what they do with theirs.
If they recycle, they might take yours for less than the landfill
will. Landfill is a bad idea for the environment.
