What do you drain your old coolant into?

Hi all,

Bit of a random question but what do you guys and gals use to drain your old coolant into when draining the system down?

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?
