How do i dispose of anti-freeze?

I want to get rid of it...what do i do????

Answer 1

If you take it to a nearby service station, you *might* be able to make friends with a mechanic, who might return the favor by checking pressure in your tires (or something).

Answer 2

If it is brand new anti-freeze then you can do a number of things with it.  About the nicest thing you might do with it, however, is to donate it to a womans shelter.  Lots of women get to leave with a car, and not much else.  They often have little to no money, or any kind of mechanical work.  

It's a bit of an odd donation, but one they would happily accept.  Since anti-freeze has gone up ever so much in price, there's a woman out there who would be very appreciative of recieving some to keep her car running well over the winter.

Also if you feel weird about donating it to a womans shelter, check with your local high schools and see if any of them have a car mechanics class.  Students would be thrilled to recieve such donations, since those kind of classes often operate on a shoestring.

Do you have the green or the red?

I leave the green out in a bowl for the neighbors cats to drink.

Take it to your city's waste management transfer or recycling center. They have a spot to leave your old paint, gas, and other toxic stuff in its container.

Answer 5

you can take it to most any auto parts store and they will take it off your hands.
