[XxESKIMOxX]

where the hell do i dispose this kind of stuff. they have oil recycling everywhere but i cant find one damn place to recycle coolant. the only thing Ive found are are held by events on cleanla.com and none of the places are remotely near me. (im in 91803 sgv area) of cali. anybody knows a place let me know!

I always stored mines in bottles and then took it to the local dump where they take garbage of all sorts. There is a section where they take hazard chemicals like coolant.

autozone does not recycle them same goes to kragans or how ever you spell em. i just went to my mechanic and give him 5 bucks to take it off my hands lol.

Tried recycling my AntiFreeze and both Kragen and Autozone told me to just flush it down the toilet. I know enough not to dump it in the storm drains, but just wondered if it's really safe to have it flushed down the toilet ... ? Does it get filtered out along w/ all the s*** that does down it?
