coming up on the Recommended service interval(105k mi) for the Coolant in My Car, but one question has evaded me, and my internet search abilities...
how do you get rid of the old stuff?
the only place listed for my county(and several others in the area), the local Solid waste district, is by appointment only, and they charge a Disposal fee $1 per pound for all household hazardous waste. ( simple math, water is 8lb/gallon, 4 Gallons of Antifreeze, 8*4 = 32, so $32 to dispose of my used coolant. I think not..)
the nearest free drop off sites are about an hour away...
My Brother is convinced that he read that it's safe to put down the sanitary sewer, that the treatment plants are set up for it.
I am not so convinced.
also I am on a septic system. He's on the public sanitary system, and put his down the drain when he did his Dakota last summer, but...I'm not comfortable doing so.
any suggestions? should I just start Cold calling local mechanics?
