Topped up the coolant this morning with a 50/50 mix. There is the tiniest bit left in a small bottle of evian- i mean tiny( a few drops). Safe to pour down the bog?

Do the sensible thing please, and drop it in at the next tip you encounter while on your travels.

Well reading the many articles on the net the stuff seems lethal for everything- don't get why it's so funny!

You're right, it isn't funny and it is lethal.

I ended up phoning the local tip (sorry 'recycling centre') and was told to heavily dilute it and pour it down the drain.

A few tiny drops? Just chuck the bottle in the bin, shirley?

FFS! Yes, just poison the watercourse. What's wrong with pouring it into a small plastic bottle and stuffing somewhere secure under the bonnet for future top ups?

Brake fluid is another one that they don't seem to know how to handle - I've got about 5 litres of the stuff now and it seems impossible to find anywhere that will dispose of it.

And no I'm not pouring it down the drain.....

Dilute it heavily, pour it on an obscure part of the garden would be my choice.

I did dilute it heavily and poured it down the loo. (advice from the council)

This is what I was thinking. It might get to the landfill and kill some seagulls.
