Can't find the coolant drain plug???

I can tell you Kragans and Auto Zone that I have bought and dumped
my oil at, will not take coolant. I pour it in the toilet where the
trash truck driver told me to. I think the correct way is to take it to
the hazardous waste areas listed in the phone book and pay them twenty
bucks to take it.

I also read somewhere that you could safely pour used coolant into the
toilet. Supposedly, the city waste treatment plants can handle it.

Anybody know if that is true or not?

If I pour it down my drain I will kill my septic system (oh the joys of
living in the country)

I think Autozone will take it around here, for that reason. I will find out
soon as I have two vehicles needing a coolant change before winter really
sets in.

Normally I just store it in clearly marked bottles away from the reach of
children and wait for the yearly free township hazardous waste drop off day,
when you can drop off your old paint cans, computer monitors, etc.

The grass grows greener over the septic tank.
My friends do that, too but that requires reading the news paper,
and I can't force myself to read that commie rhetoric.

It's true around here in central CA. Any sewer line that runs to a
wastewater treatment plant is fine; call and check first if you like.
The toilet thing works okay, as does the garage sink, or if the misses
will let you, down the kitchen sink.

What's not OK is dumping it down a storm drain or in a hole in the
backyard. And if you spill any on the driveway, mop it up with paper
towels then wash what's left down well, as it is very toxic to animals.

Something else you have in common with the President.

I have heard that it is flammable too. Billy Ray can correct me if I am
wrong, but "ethylene glycol" sounds like C2O2H4. I got some flames out of
the stuff once, but it went out, no doubt because of the water mixed in it.
From what Billy Ray said before about pouring it in the ground, it probably
won't upset your septic system too much, but why chance it?

Flash point is 250 F.

Combustion may form carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, various
hydrocarbons.

Now that is in pure form, in the radiator is 50% added water, poured into
the commode and diluted during the 16 mile trip to the waste treatment
plant...........

Effects on septic systems are different than effects on vegatation. I would
probably avoid septic tanks but haven't looked into it. A jug every couple
years probebly wouldn't do much harm as long as you flush down a box of
septic tank enzymes/bacteria a week or so later.
