Question Coolant disposal?
The local O'reilly's (Dallas, TX) offers engine oil reclamation..... Where does one dispose of used coolant?

Thanks in advance.

Our local Firestone dealer has a deal with the county (Santa Clara, CA) to take used coolant.

My city has tox-drops which are open on alternating Saturdays. They accept both motor oil and antifreeze.

Check with your city or county waste disposal organization - many of them have drop sites.

My local WalMart Super Center has a can for used oil, and one for used coolant. When I first asked, they said they didn't take coolant. But when I saw the big drum marked COOLANT and asked again, I got a different answer.
