serious? I only ask that because I know that Autozone by my house has signs saying not to drop shit off. So I figured Kreg. was the same way. Maybe they don't take oil.

maybe you should read the signs again, they say dont drop shit off but that really means to bring it inside to the counter ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

I remember taking a bunch of old coolant to an Autozone and they paid us for disposing of it. It's was only a few bucks but we were more concerned of getting out of the garage and getting rid of it properly.

Um yeah that signs "no dumping" pertains to leaving oil after business hours.
Autozone will take your oil and/or coolant and give you some chump change for it.

just pour it down the drain. as long as animals can't get to it, you're cool. from what i've read, coolant is similar to the shit they use at sewage plants to break down waste

kragen won't take coolant. They only take pure oil. I say flush it.

thanks for the advice...I'll try learning to read better too. I guess flushing it is the way to go since that is all "treated" waste. But I just didn't want to contribute our already fucked off environment if possible.

Already tried them,...kinda. I put it in the oil jugs I have and they didn't take them. I didn't think they would but gave it a shot. I think I'll just flush it.
