Used Anti Freeze?

[super99]

How do you guys get rid of used anti freeze? I have the radiator drained and flushed on the 1850 diesel that I just bought, and have new anti freeze to put back in. Is there anywhere to get rid of used stuff and what does it cost? Hate to just dump it out on the ground. What do you all do with it? Chris

Used anti-freeze makes excellent tire ballast... Gene

I save it and put it in garden tractor tires. maybe someone in your area does the same.

Check with some radiater repair places. Some will take it because they filter and reuse.

You may have a place to recycle it. Here in MD our local Case/IH dealer won't touch a tire with calcium chloride since its so hard to dispose of and they recommend using used antifreeze. We have a place nearby where you can dispose of used oil and antifreeze. Hal

We save it and spray it in dumptruck boxes in winter to keep dirt and rock from sticking.

Most anti-freeze is toxic to animals. Be careful where and how you dispose of it.

O'riley's and Auto Zone auto parts places will take it. Others may also.

ask a farmer if he wants it. it's d@mn hard to find someone to sell you 40 gallons of used antifreeze cheap to winterize the sprayer when you need it. He'll be overjoyed to take it off your hands, might eeven pay you for it. btdt.

 

[Dan-IA]

yeah. and it tastes sweet and all your cats will try to drink it any chance they get. btdt

Put it in the new antifreeze container marked used 50/50. Use it for topping up and give it to unfortunate overheated motorist. Don't reuse the bottom 1" because it's acidic.

how do you get it in?

 

[spanky]

"get it in" using a tire adapter, short hose, and a drill pump

 

[TxFarmallFan]

I just bring it up to work, and dump it in the container here.

How much weight does this add to a typical lawn tractor tire? This is done to aid traction, right?
