When I checked with my local waste water treatment authority they said
to just flush it down the toilet.  This doesn't apply to septic tanks,
though.

Also, I've seen other posts that say disposal via the city's sewage
system is acceptable.

Beyond that, you could talk with an auto or truck repair facility and
see what they do.
