What does everyone do with their used coolant, oil and other fluids?? I get a friend who works at a steel mill to dispose of it at work...he has proper disposal there. With all the job layoffs my disposal service is no longer. Does any know who else takes used fluids back?? How do you dispose of them? Thanks
What do you do with old oil???

I take mine to one of our local garages. They use it to heat their building during the winter months.
They're supposed to go down the storm gutters, silly!
No, actually I mix up all the fluids with the oil and put it in the oil recycler tank. Seems better than dumping it in a hole or something.

I just dump it in my backyard.
J/K....I take it to AutoZone.

Mobil has this link on their website: http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Car_Care/Used_Oil_Recycling.aspx enter your zip code and it will tell you what places in your area take used oil, also which ones take used oil filters and other chemicals and products.
The above link will basically open a new page from http://www.Earth911.com you can use that site directly find places to dispose of a whole bunch of stuff

My Napa store doen't accept used oil so my old oil goes in the recycle tank at the local AAP. Antifreeze and gear lube goes there too when I have it. I keep my old oil filters in an old drain pan and when it gets full I take them to a local tire store and dump them in their oil filter recycling barrel. I'm pretty sure they go to U.S. Filter from there.
I always take my used oil to a local garage and they use it in their heaters. They can;t get enough of it. I usually take them 60 gallons or more right in the fall. Between my diesel and all my friends and family's cars, it sure adds up real quick.
Antifreeze is another story. I am really pi$$ed!!!! Our only recycling center is open until 3:00PM weekdays, and not open at all on weekends. So I can never ever get there to recycle it. So I just leave it at the gate and let them empty it. I don;t need the bottles back!

I am ashamed to say that back in the late 60s we did dump into the storm sewers! Well, i now recycle, for earths sake.....
I take it to the local oil recycling depot, which also happens to accept antifreeze and used oil filters.
Crraapy Tires also take used oil (max 20L per visit, or 5 jugs).

I take it to a local repair shop, they burn it in a heater they have.

Kragen Auto Parts in California takes it. Filters and all.
I bring it either to Wal-Mart or a local gas station that has a used oil receptacle/kiosk in the parking lot that you can drain used oil into.
In Canada it's a law that any company that sells the oil has to take back the old oil. Also any Municipal dump here will take it free of charge in their "Hazardous" waste section. I drop mine at the local dump, or take it to where I bought it, depending on where I'm going that day...
