I had to go to the Pick-n-pull today to grab a few wiring connectors/pigtails and stuff that you can't get from LKQ and when checking out I noticed they had a rack full of used gallon jugs of antifreeze at $5 a gallon. The stuff was NASTY - dark colored and in windshield washer bottles. Now I get it that there are people on a budget but when a new jug of full concentrate can be had for $14 and makes you 2 gallons ...is saving $2 really even an option for that junk? It was not even labeled what kind or anything - just as used antifreeze.
USED ANTIFREEZE $5 a jug at Pick-n-Pull!

Only brand new anti freeze for me.
Is there some other use for antifreeze besides engine cooling were this might be used. I cant imagine anyone draining their old antifreeze to refill with unknown age or condition fluid.
I know guys used to fill tractor tires with antifreeze but I think there are more green options now.

Came here to say tractor tires... as well.. I've got -20 washer fluid and water in mine.
If I had a beater I didn’t really care about I’d throw it in there 
They were clean - the fluid inside was dirty.
No thanks.
Yes that may be what they are doing to save on environmental disposal costsmaybe they should be paying you 5$ to take the jug?
Well....I'm told it'll keep weeds down. Not that I'd know from personal experience
I bought two bottles of Peak 10x 50/50 for -$1.60
As in the rebate is paying me more than the purchase price
While I understand people are struggling, used cauldron coolant seems like a bad idea
I can see the clogged heater cores and stop leak contamination a mile out
False economy

AAA Crain's in Ft.Worth sells used antifreeze.....The weird things you see a pick-a-part yards! But.....I'm glad they're around!
Like you said....For electrical connectors/pigtails, I leave them with 50-60 Fuses & Relays in my pockets usually.

Ask them if they tested it.
If I was gonna buy any of that stuff, I'd bring my own tester and check it myself. And the only thing I would use it for if it tested good, would be winterising a outboard motor, or inboard motor. Then drain it out in the spring .collect it back up, and put it away until next year.,,
Will they still charge you an environmental fee for taking this waste off their hands?
