your local authoritys usually have a drop off point for them. If not you'll have to bring them to a garrage or ask the local garrage where they bring theirs. Defo do not pore them down the drain that carries a hefty fine and also isn't the best for the local enviormant or the local waste disposal place.

Surely coolant is ok down the drain? but definately not oil. Our local recycling place takes the oil.

Not really, usually the contain an organic chemical ( most often ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, or propylene glycol ) But that doesn't mean that it has't been contaminated from being used in the engine, it doesn't say " If consumed seek medical advice " on the bottle for the sake of it. i'm pretty sure if it's toxic to you then it's going to be toxic to aquatic life

I put my old oil into old oil cans and leave it at the fence in my parents house after servicing my car and next time I look its magically vanished.... I am waiting for my father to say "will you stop leaving that stuff there for me to dispose of"... my advice would be to find out where I live and leave it at the fence for my father to get rid of..

Lol I'm not planing on drinking it but I guess I won't put anymore down the drain either.
coolant down the drain!!? eh NO! just about the same if not, as toxic as oil. I would imagine most big franchises would take it off your hands, they will have the same sorta thing like at my place, big container's for recyling. Either that or justgo to a local council recyling unit.

coolant can kill you!!!!!
i heard about a guy who filled is can of coke up with some because he was sick of someone drinking is coke at work.
well anyway one of the guys was off work the next day, he never said anything about it to anyone, 3 days later that guy was dead
he got 8 years hmp
Moral of this story is - if you want to find who's taking your drink's, use coolant, it's very effective!
As others have said, local recycle yard will be your best bet.
