Find a Marine to take it to the base hobby shop, they will dispose of it.... if not, call the DMV or California Department of Transportation or Califoria HazMat.

not sure since cali is crazy bout its laws but most places you ARE allowed to dump so much antifreeze a month into the city sewer. i worked at a fast lube in ohio and we flushed it right down the old toilet.

I take it to EZ-Lube...

Most places like Jiffy-lube should take it. Make sure to let them know that it is not mixed with oil or anything else.

y waist your time, they are just gonna flush it y not do it yourself. the reason the places you checked didnt take it cause there is not a need to recycle it.
