Re: [Amc-list] fluid disposal

[ksiroonian@xxxxxxx]

In our town you can bring used motor oil to the DPW station where they use the oil in their waste??oil heaters for the Public works garage.
I have to say though that i also heard that the proper way to dispose of used antifreeze is also by putting into a municipal sewer system, ie. down the?drain versus in the dirt or road. didn't make sense to me but now that one you also said it, then I guess there must be something to it. i will chekc it out again when the next time comes.
regards.Ken

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

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

And I will say this:  Don't you think that the modern
single stage acrylic urethane is more resistant to
fade than the older enamels and lacguers, no matter
what the color?  If it were my car and I planned on
being able to fix it myself (let alone save some
money) I'd have it painted with acrylic urethane.
