[Amc-list] Disposing of gas, oil, brake fluid and coolant (I AM SHOCKED)

[Nick ALFANO <71amx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have to agree with Ken.  I am sitting hear reading some of these post with my mouth open in shock that some are actually advising people openly about dumping engine oil, ethylene glycol and other pollutants down the drain like they tossing out milk or something.  I am not a tree hugger by no means but this shocks me and I can't believe others aren't screaming the same thing.  Our water ways and air are polluted enough without us having people add to it by making this seem like an acceptable practice.  Be a responsible person and bring it to a recycle place.  There are plenty in just about every city.  Even most Autozones (as well as other parts stores) will take your used fluids free of charge.  If you can't do that, then don't do your own fluid changes.  Take your vehicle to a oil change center.  If you are low on cash, shop around.  I have found oil changes to range from 12.99-50.00 for the same oil so there is no reason to say you can't afford it.  
 
Please don't dump your used chemicals down the drain!!!

Pollution or what?  :)

Evaporating gasoline only puts it into the air. Not good. That's why we have 
evaporative pollution fighters on our cars and at the gas pump.

Putting oil/coolant, no matter how well emulsified down the toilet is the same 
as just throwing it into the street. Still pollutes the water.

my 3 cents
