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?
The bloke at our local tip would be really annoyed if you poured antifreeze mix into the waste oil, so I simply pour it into the header tank of an 1800, et voila it becomes steam
