Pour the old fuel on your neighbors lawn, ignite and run away giddily laughing… Put the coolant in a oil container and take to wherever sells oil, claiming it is oil… Or just pour both in a sewer or something… ---

i suggest taking it to a local repair shop in containers in the late hours like 9-10 ish when they are closed an all gone, do the door stop drop. They will then have to deal with it in turn because they wont want to get into the trouble of illegally disposing of it. I suggest someone like midas or pep boyz ---

If I remember right, it’s OK to just dump coolant down the sewer. Don’t quote me on this though. I mix little bits of gas with my waste oil until it’s all gone, and the city takes the waste oil. Problem solved. ---

[http://www.epa.gov/region09/waste/p2/autofleet/antifreeze.pdf](http://www.epa.gov/region09/waste/p2/autofleet/antifreeze.pdf) “Waste antifreeze should never be disposed of down storm drains or into surface waters. Doing so is illegal and punishable by fines up to $25,000.” I don’t know how this would affect dumping it down the drain though, but I’d be hesitant to. ---

you can flush it down a sanitary sewer (toilet).
