Where do you guys go to recycle old fluids?

Oils (motor, transmission) - I have usually hit up an Oreilly Auto on the way to work.
Antifreeze - not many places take it but I found a shop that does not too far from me.

Local Valvoline Instant Oil Change, nice group of folks. Gave me an empty gear lube barrel once, makes a stylish trash can in the garage.
Walmart & AP for engine oil. Coolant goes down the drain. ATF- I have no idea but, most places are adamant about NOT mixing it with engine oil.
Oil and oil filters are picked up curbside with other recycling and the city runs a hazardous waste drop-off for a couple of hours most Saturdays and some Fridays (paint, batteries, coolant, oil, etc.); learned about it by skimming the marketing paperwork stuffed in the utility bill which usually never gets even a glance.

The transfer station here in town has a tank you can dump oil into. I mix all ATF, gear oil, power steering fluid, and brake fluid in with my used motor oil and dump it there. They also have a separate tank for antifreeze, which is where I dump my antifreeze.
All the oil change places take oil and coolant here. even Canadian tire does as well.
The county landfill
Our local Wallymarts take oil and filters, and they are open late so I usually go there. Otherwise, the municipal landfill is closer and has recycling for anything you can think of.
Motor oil and atf mixed together go to Autozone. Antifreeze... Is building up haven't found anyone to take it yet.
Municipal "shed". Oil, coolant, electronics, batteries, metals, cans+bottles, plastics, paper+cardboard........... but not tires; not even for a fee. No room for 'em. Kira

Our town has a collection site where they take all of it. They also take paints, mercury containing lights, etc.

Same here, which makes me a bit wary of "rerefined" motor oil if what goes into our "used motor oil" tank is any example.

My county pays for a transfer station operated by Waste Management, and it's only 5 miles from my house. It takes everything.
At work we have a tank. We pump it into a even bigger tank and a guy comes and gets it and pays us for it.
AAP
My wife or I drop it off at Wal-mart usually.
