Antifreeze Can Be Recycled
- Put the antifreeze in a jar or plastic container
- Clearly label it "antifreeze"
- Place on your tree lawn on your regular collection day
Dilution for Sewer Drain
A small amount (5 gallons or less) of antifreeze can be diluted with water and poured down a sanitary sewer drain. These are drains within your home which flow to a waste water treatment plant unless your home is connected to a septic system.
Where Not to Pour Antifreeze
Do not pour into a septic system. Do not pour anything down a storm drain on your street. These drains flow directly to streams and Lake Erie.
