Why's it so damn hard to dispose of coolant?

[Ralphie]

basically all the shops around here wash the coolant down the drains but hold onto the oil. that is what i have seen for years, i will check it out further

Well that is foolish.

Anti freeze is actually worse then oil in some regards.

and they have NO way of knowing where those pipes lead and if there is any, ANY, crossover, they are endangering people/water shelf.

Its so fucking easy to just hold onto it until you find someplace to dispose of it.

Just because "local shops" do it, doesn't make it right.

Spreading bad advice is no better.

Toilets are for human waste. Period.

Those chemicals aren't good for your home plumbing anyway, at least depending on what your plumbing is made of.

so antifreeze is worse than draino and other drain / toilet chemicals how again ?

checked out the NYC Dept of Sanitation website and I am totally wrong in what I knew. I stand corrected now. I had heard about washing it down the drain/toilet years ago but now that is no good

I had this same problem in NYC.


So my advice to you, is to look up a local Radiator repair place.

X2 definetly a radiator repair shop. They have to follow OSHA and MSDS standards so they know how to get rid of it properly. flushing down the toilet is def. a no no. but dumping it on the neighbors garden isnt a bad idea either

I live at the bottom of a valley. Whatever poisons I dump on my enemies' land would eventually make it down here, so that's right out.

Prius? Fuck that shit. I can't afford those things. Why do you think I'm driving a Honda that's old enough to buy beer?

Thanks for the advice on the radiator shops. I'll start calling around tomorrow.

its good u want to dispose it the right way but i dont think most people do anyways.

The crushed stone they use under railroad tracks works great for leaching.... They actually use the same stone in septic system leaching fields.

...not suggesting anything just stating some facts lol

Yea sure....go ahead and fuck up your natural resources and Eco system.

I don't live their so I could care less.

Pretty ignorant, especially from someone who lives someplace as nice as Canada.

You don't have to be a tree hugging hippy to give a fuck about the future especially if you plan on having kids.

From all the damage we have done, it would take 500 years for the planet to do a full 360 and come back to the way she was BEFORE humans started destroying her.

Take a look around once in a while mate.
