Almost any recycling center can handle it.

At the same time, most local shops and even parts stores have ways of handling coolant for recycling. Just call them. Most will take it for a small fee (It costs them to have the recycling company to come and get it)

Call your village or town hall. Some communities offer oil and antifreeze collection tanks.

Autozone will not accept old anti-freeze and if a man is foolish enough to mix the old fluids, this will not be accepted either..They use a device to sense the anti-freeze...Now I have a friend of a friend who uses the old oil to heat his garage.
Hopefully the spent antifreeze can be re-refined.

Check with your local city and county government. They have an interest in how these materials are handled, and thus should be able to help.

I was told it can be dumped down city sewer. Do NOT dump it in a septic tank or storm sewer.

Do not dump antifreeze, or any other stuff with unknown effect, into a sanitation sewer without first checking with the sanitation department about its acceptability.

Antifreeze may foul a treatment plant by killing the digester microbes. The same goes for spent photo processing chemicals.

In South central Pa does one take old antifreeze Is there someone that would take it?
He has about 15 gallons to dispose of.

I don't understand your reply, Earthworm. I didn't see anything regarding Autozone, am I missing part of the original posting ?

Its not mixed its from construction equipment.Hed like to take it and dispose of it correctly but no one seems to want it..

Bulldinkie-
I have taken mine to A Garage close to my home. The last time I went, about a year ago, I took almost 10 Gallons and the owner only charged me $5.00 . Let me know what you find out.

Carcrazy, I know of no place that accepts anti-freeze, including Autozone, maybe some others do...
I have other ways of handling this problem...
And I am too cheap to pay someone else to remove or accept the "spent" coolant ; my bill for trash removal is high enough..
There are other innovative ways that can be employed..

BMY used to give the "used once" antifreeze to its employees, but then some decided to steal the new anti-freeze and waltz thru the gate..
That put an end to that ,IMO, generous program...

Bulldinke:

Have you checked with your local government? A simple phone call will do. I my state, many municipalities have collection tanks for spent antifreeze and engine oil, often at no extra charge - because this is already covered by taxes and trash collection fees.

Try this. I don't know where you live so I couldn't test it.
