ENGINE COOLANT DISPOSAL?

[droog]

My local tip will take engine oil but does not list engine coolant as a disposable fluid on the website.

Just wondering where I can get rid of this stuff? Will garages take it?

Cheers for any info.

your local council should have a "hazardous waste" dispose scheme in place...

Throw it in the bath water after pulling the plug!

My local tip wont take anything but oil. I accidentally ended up tipping my old coolant in with the oil when I did mine last.

Down the toilet, half a litre at a time so it can’t be traced back to your street gets thoroughly diluted and won’t affect the microbial digestion process at the sewage farm. I think it causes them to bloom rather than poisoning them, but that unbalances the sewage treatment regime.

That sums up council recycling.

They'll have a coolant tank. If not, spit the dummy at the recycling place.
It's all captured on cctv, so we might get a laff at your expense on Found on the Net later.

Last time I did my coolant, unfortunately it went all over the driveway and I had to hose it down the grid.

As for council recycling centres............ they don't like you recycling. I went to the tip to dump stuff off, guy turns up with loads of good lengths of 2x2 and 3x2 timber, I needed timber so he gave me the timber, that's what I call recycling, but person with hiviz ran over shouting that we couldn't do that sort of thing. We ignored him and carried on, but he gave me a dirty look when I returned a few hours later to drop more crap off.

[to v or not to v]

my local recycling centres are by appointment only now. and anyone outside the city has to pay a fee.
needless to say, fly tipping has greatly increased.

Have you thought about asking a local garage what they do with it, they will have far more to dispose of than yourself.

PS old antifreeze makes a very good weed killer - I spilled some accidentally several years ago and it kept my driveway algae and moss free for years!

My oil container is also my coolant and brake, and piss bucket.
