Waste antifreeze

[Northeastfarmer]

Have managed to fill two 45 gallon drums with waste antifreeze over the years...what is the best way and correct way of disposing of this please
No suggestions of down the drain or on my neighbours stubble please

The best way is not to collect it.
The correct way is to pay a licensed carrier to fetch it.
Put it in the flat roller?

The flat roller is already full of normal water and don’t think I’d get the cork out now!

Pour it in the dung pit? It's not like its radioactive or anything.

Try your local waste oil company. Or even speak to your oil supplier.

Fairly toxic though...

If you drink it, yes. In the environment it degrades very rapidly, they used to use it and propylene glycol to de-ice runways and airports etc. I think urea is used now instead.

Never drained anti freeze from a machine.

the owners manuals on most cars / tractors / trucks etc generally state regular drain intervals - 2 years is pretty common I think ?
Having said that, ive never drained a cooling system unless ive blown a hose / done a water pump or flushed out or repaired a radiator . . .

There's probably not too many vineyards in Cleveland but I seem to remember the Austrians used to use it to perk up their wine somehow.

IIRC, Tesco used to sell it as an accompaniment to their excellent horsemeat lasagnes

The ironic thing is I bet you could make horsemeat lasagne and it would be dirt cheap, tasty and sell AOK?
