When I was working we kept it in a drum and the haz mat co. picked it up. At the time green antifreeze was not considered a haz material and could be disposed of any way you wanted to. ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

| I've always wondered that, too. I have a 5 gallon bucket of the used green stuff, but never knew where to take it. |

CTucker, you are a genius!! I take mine to a local recycling center. I had to call several because most places will take oil but not coolant. I was lucky enough to find one that did. ------------- D17 Series III,D17 Series IV, 185 |

I put mine in whatever plastic containers I got, mixed with oil, tranny fluid,gas,water and take to recycle center, The kid always ask was is it, I say old oil, offload then go. It ain't MY problem......they get paid big $$ for the oils and paints and such, so I don't feel bad. I do feel bad when it goes on the ground here though. jay ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

Start with your local auto shop. Also try your local land fill...most likely they have a program for collection. Please don’t dispose on the ground...used AF is loaded with heavy metals that can leech into the ground water and usually has fairly low pH depending on the age of it. ------------- 1954 WD45 Restored 2015 Current Project: 1953 IH R120 Pickup truck CB "It's better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." |

Wish you guys were closer to me, I'd take it off your hands. We use it in the bottom of our dump trailers in the winter to keep product from freezing in. ------------- Making A living everyday farming with and working on Allis Equipment |

guy I woked for this spring treats his dump boxes with it has a sprayer in the cab and each morning on the job spray a lite coating on box floor or onto box liner - keeps the dirt from freezing to box - as we were hauling trenching material from old sewer lines in city much of it was wet and without treating box you would have dirt frozen to metal ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.

| This wouldn't work for 99% of you because it can't be done with a septic tank. Here in area served by Johnson County, Ks. Wastewater it is acceptable to put anti-freeze down your drain and it causes no problem in going through the sewage treatment plant. Go figure. |
