Around here (Southern Calif) it is "really really bad"(tm) to pour anything
like anti-freeze down the drain, or on the ground.  Even the junkyards
have been forced by the state to provide pans to drain the stuff into in
the yards to protect the environment.  I always recycle it if it is
anything more than what gets spilled on the floor in the garage.
