Used Coolant
 

I went to a salvage yard today to get a new rim for my avalanche, I see this rack in the back, used Coolant. You gotta be $hittin me. Lmao

Says pic is too large.

Probably saves them major grief from the EPA if they pay someone to dispose of it, and have receipts to prove it.

Hopefully the pic will help. Properly disposing of coolant and other fluids is important.

not sure, it won’t take a pic from my fone or iPad, I use both on my Forum. The
Default sizes need to be changed. I had to do that along with adding a few diff pic codes.

Screen shooting pic may reduce size to post.
I've seen used coolant also window juice available @ yards around here.
I haven't tried any but do often buy boneyard batteries, load tested myself and less than $20 w/ dead exchange credit.
:beers:

Oh, is it used coolant for sale?

Jason

Yes.

I used to have a coolant recycler years ago when i had my shop...It cleaned it

im confused..why is recycled coolant funny...its the adult, responsible thing to do...wtf?

cant a socially conscious, earth friendly way to keep it out of the water supply, be economically available to less wealthy people...?

our kids and grand kids will pay for our raping of the environment, just like we are paying for what our own elders left us....and let me tell ya..I aint no tree hugger...every thing anyone does makes a difference...everyone has the responsibilty to do the best they can to leave the world a little better...its the right thing to do...

For me in my area I only have one recycle option that is closed during the winter months here, however I make sure to collect any and all coolant and take it with my paint slop at least once a year. A little off topic, but fluorescent lamps as well !
I find it discouraging for some to get ride of coolant where as engine oil almost all the auto parts stores take no questions ask ?
And your correct, it is the right thing to do, and my require a little effort.

At my Caterpillar dealership, we kidney looped engine and transmission oil on large rental and machines with service contracts through a filter system to clean the oil rather than replace it. The oil never left the reservoirs, was cleaned, then rejuvenated with new additives. This was a huge cost savings, especially on field machines where 30-50 gallons of new and used oil would have to be handled by a single mechanic from one machine.

Too bad this couldn't be done cost effectively on over the highway cars and trucks. It would eliminate a huge problem of disposing of used lubricants.

Funny, because they bottle it out of junk cars and sell it. It's in a clear milk jug, and it's black. I find that funny and retarded.

It is quite a unique situation in my town. I bring all the liquids to be recycled and put in the appropriate containers the village has set up. THEN, I go shopping. The guy that runs the small facility has 2 stalls that he stores all the old stuff that comes in (cans of carb cleaner, brake cleaner, old, never opened oil (a lot of times the old stuff with zinc) everything you can think of. Best part, take whatever you want, all free. I can say I have not paid for any brake fluid, PS fluid, coolant, cleaners, carnauba wax in the past 10 years. It's a great set up
