Re: Coolant Disposal
Makes a dandy mouse trap. Take one mud bucket, one coat hanger (use lower straight wire), one coke can. Drill hole in coke can ends and pass hanger wire through, kink wire to keep in place. Paint stripe of peanut butter around coke can. Anchor hanger wire to top of bucket, put at least 3" of coolant in bucket. Provide ramp.
Not exactly humane, but fairly quick and effective - and the coolant pickles the customers, avoiding typical stink. One slotted spoon for monthly maintenance. Couldn't resist, - Jeff

Re: Coolant Disposal
I have a septic tank and bacteria in it will break down ethylene glycol. Just make sure that you don't just dump it out or leave it where your dog can get at it. Ethylene glycol tastes sweet and they will drink it. Rapid irreversible kidney failure=dead dog!

Re: Coolant Disposal
I was able to take my coolant to my Oil Masters Lube place.
