    Waste liquid disposals

    Question directed to professional mechanics/dismantlers etc
    How do you dispose of brake fluid, antifreeze etc?
    I've been searching the net for an hour and answers range from
    Pour it down the fowl drain (Irish enviro agency ) to have it collected by recycling g companies.

      Same experience here, the garage's I've worked in either paid to have fluids removed or in the case of waste oils use it as fuel for heating in the winter.

      I also fill up five gallon drums and take them to the tip or give them to local garages to use for heating.

        My waste oil generally goes to Mr Tonks to heat his workshop, everything else gets taken to the tip
