How to dispose of old coolant / antifreeze?

[NiceCupOfTea]

Have looked on local council's website but can't find anything.

Last time I got rid of some I just took it in a container to the tip and they took it off me. However, I have rather a lot now (flushing system a couple of times) and don't really want to part with all my empty containers.

I assume it's not safe to bung down the drain (although I read something saying it was - not sure about that though!).

leave it in a bowl for the foxes ?

Nearest drain sounds good to me.

I expect some French Vineyards will be interested.

Antifreeze is poisonous and should never be put in drains I took mine to the tip and was disapponted when the bloke just slung it in ths kip despite my telling him what it was.

The toliet, as that's brown water.

[SystemParanoia]

put it in the freezer!

Bottle it in an empty 'Diamond White/White Ace cider' bottle and sell it to underage chavs outside the off licence, they'll never know the difference.

Disclaimer: Don't do this.

This has the side effect of getting rid of potentially useless parts of the population.

Maybe if we made a huge ship and sent them all away saying the planet was going to be eaten by a space goat...

Yes, that's what happened to me last time I took it down! I read that it can be dealt with by the processes at water purification plants but it still doesn't feel right.

Although putting it out for local foxes does sound good (joking)

True, why waste it on foxes when the local feline sh*t machines will drink it. (Also joking..a bit)
