Call your local water or solid waste authority to see if you are allowed by
law to pour it down the drain and/or where you can drop it off.  The
treatment plant may not be able to treat the waste water for the chemicals
in antifreeze.  You might also consider storing it for the next household
hazardous waste disposal day (if your area has them).

What is the environmentally proper way to dispose of used antifreeze? In
WA, all the FLAPS are required to provide for collection of used motor
oil but there is no such provision for other toxic fluids. The only
option I see is to carry the stuff in the house and pour it down the
drain. That way, it gets treated by the sewage plant and doesn't go
directly into the local river, lake, ocean, etc. Is there a better
solution?
