What To Do With Return to A-Z Guide

Antifreeze, standard or pink

Antifreeze, either standard or pink, is accepted at the Drop-Off Station and Recovery Yard for a small fee, and Washtenaw County's Home Toxics disposal program.

Recycle Right!

Wherever you take antifreeze, make sure it is stored in an extremely secure container. Do not mix antifreeze with other substances.

Live Zero Waste!

Try to use up all antifreeze, so you do not have to worry about figuring out how to dispose of it. Once opened, antifreeze lasts around 8 years.

Other Places This is Accepted
