    Oil Filters
    Brake Fluid
    Anti-freeze
    ATF
    Gear Oil
    Fuel/Fuel Filters
    Brake Pads
    Brake Cleaner
    ...and across the line.

    I take my old oil filters to one of those quick-change places. They usually have a big bin outside specifically for them. I then sell my old fluids to POS at a small discount!

    I just put it all in the same container and dump it at AutoZone.

    BTW. AutoZones Website says, "Every AutoZone store accepts used batteries for recycling and 95% of our stores accept used motor oil and other used fluids. See your closest AutoZone store for details."

    I just throw away the oil filters, after I drain them.

    I'm confused.

    My dog likes used anti-freeze, it's kinda sweet.

    I guess I am a lazy bastard. I called our city sanitation department and was informed that they will send out a special collection truck for the stuff. Oil, battery, tires... pretty much anything you put out there. Just set it out by the curb and the trash man will call the truck. :)

    Naa, he only drank about half a gallon. After drinking the used turbo Mobil 1, I think he's built up a pretty good tolerance.
