Where to take used coolant?

Anyone know where to take used coolant? I've checked Autozone, Pepboys, and OReilly...

Does it go to the city?

Arlington told me to dump it down the drain!!! I asked the same person twice during the conversation on the phone. Water treatment plant will take care of it is what I was told.

City of Dallas told me the same when I lived over there. Now that I am out in the country, I put it out in a bowl to help control the population of strays and varmints. ;)

Even if they said that you should do that I wouldn't.

Antifreeze is on their list.

In Ft. Worth we just let it run down the driveway thereby completing the circle of life. :tooth:

Hopefully you're not serious. A bullet is more humane than a slow death by poisoning. My idiot neighbor poisoned my girl's kitten that way. Ironically, her own cat managed to get into it and died as well.

If you live in DALLAS County, there is a hazardous waste disposal near Track Dog Racing (Plano Road, north of Miller Road, East side). I have taken computers, coolant, 15 gallons of old gas, paint, etc. Check their schedule before you drive over there.

thanks for that link.

I found that Firestone stores will take it to recycle

at least the one in Grapevine does

no hassles either

It's probably not PC, but I mix it in my with used oil. Vatozone will take old oil. It will get filtered and disposed of properly with the rest of the junk when they sell it.
