How to dispose of Antifreeze & Coolant in Oregon

Oregon rules

Many auto shops accept used antifreeze. Check with your DEQ for locations.

General steps

1. Never pour antifreeze down drains or on the ground — it's toxic to animals and children.
2. Collect used antifreeze in a sealed, labeled container.
3. Take to an auto parts store — many accept used antifreeze for free (AutoZone, O'Reilly).
4. Check your local hazardous waste facility for antifreeze recycling.
5. Used antifreeze can be professionally recycled and reconditioned for reuse.
