I have always drained used oil into a plastic oil pan which can be bought cheap these days, then pour it into a 25L jerry can type container like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-X-NEW-2...8/252036641062
I then periodically take it to the local recycling centre and pour it into their used engine oil container.
Does anyone do anything differently with their coolant?
I would've thought it shouldn't be poured into the used engine oil disposal at a recycling centre but then what else would you do with it? |
Another potential source for those containers, is a local garage that sells home heating oil in the pump. They were around a fiver each.
I use one for the oil, PAS, ATF and brake fluids, taking it to the recycling when it is 3/4s full. The coolant, I flushed in the toilet, after decanting from the basin to a large bucket adding additional water to it for dilution. I didnt think it would be suited for the recycling oil tank.
