That's because the storm sewer probably goes to the Hudson lolIn NYC you can flush coolant down the toilet but you can't dump it in the Storm Sewer.

OK.I've heard to flush in between jugs so it spreads i out and it's not one big slug on its way to the treatment plant.
There could be some truth to that. They don't want you pouring it into the street storm drains because they end up in Jamaica Bay around here. They say flushing it is OK. In all honesty it can be a bit confusing. In any event I do my part to recycle.That's because the storm sewer probably goes to the Hudson lol
There's several 4ft diameter drain pipes that go straight to the canal in the neighborhood I lived in. Even says no dumping, goes straight to the bay.There could be some truth to that.

One time I called and the lady goes no no no! Don't pour in
You mean the treatment plant?Last time I had some, I asked the shop that I take my cars to if they could take it. I think I paid $5, small money I thought.
Town I used to live in would take used fluids at the transfer station, but the one I'm in now does not.
Nope, AFAIK the town does not have city sewer nor water, I think it's all private wells and septic tanks. Certainly is where I am.You mean the treatment plant?
If the system is designed to accept it. Check with the powers that be.Down the toilet it goes.
Meh, if it can handle various detergents, bleaches, drain unclogging concoctions, then it can handle glycol.If the system is designed to accept it. Check with the powers that be.
No lmao it's half waterIf one were to soak an old blanket or a bunch of cardboard with the old coolant, would it burn when tossed onto a brush fire?
This smells like a setupI live out in the boonies and there’s no real recycling program available. How do you dispose of your old coolant where you live? Do auto parts stores accept it like they do for used oil?
The reason I asked is because I've burned wet cardboard before. You just have to have a big enough fire going to toss it onto.No lmao it's half water
Smells? This isn't my fault. I was just askingThis smells like a setup
Riiiight..."Asking for a friend"Smells? This isn't my fault. I was just asking
