Coolant Change

BlackBimmer1991 · 05-04-2010, 05:59 PM

Today I changed my coolant (not an easy thing to do on a 328 E90). So anyway I put in new coolant blah blah blah everything is great. Now I took my old coolant to pepboys (yea you would think they would take it) but no... ok so i try two other stores... same thing..... Now its illegal to poor this stuff out but I really have no other choice. Anyone Know who takes old coolant?? Anyone???

as long as animals can't drink it, it won't hurt anyone, it can be our little secret...

Make meth out of it

Jk, I heard in California its ok to throw it away in your Garden Disposal Waist (green trash can bin for us), but you have to wrap it around a plastic bag like about a thousand times.

Don't know about PA, but here in MD you can bring it to your local landfill. They have special containers for antifreeze/coolant just as they do for motor oil, cooking oil, etc.

In NJ at least, if you sell it, you also have to accept it for disposal.

If ^ that ^ doesn't work, I can almost guarantee your city or county website will have information on disposal sites.

call this group of auto-part stores Oreilly / Murray's / Kragen / Checker / Shuck's in your area, they are your best bet. At least in my area they take used coolant.

Actually you can search store locator w/ zip code and their web list which stores take coolant (all take used oil but only a few take coolant for free).

Hmmmm.......... I know my local autozone in NY takes Oil, but they dont take coolent.

Just pour it out, there are many of us running around catless so we are doing much more harm than you.

Compared to 200,000 gallons of oil being dumped every day in the gulf of Mexico, I think you are ok dumping your antifreeze on the street.
