- Most radiator shops will dispose of your antifreeze properly, they even
- charge you a fee when they do radiator work to dispose of the coolant in
- your radiator. Something like a 'waste management fee', it was only $3 for
- my radiator work. I'm not saying they are all legit and aren't dumping it
- down *their* drains, but you have a much better chance with them.

- Check around.
