How to Dispose of Antifreeze in Oceanside, CA
Oceanside antifreeze is household hazardous / automotive fluid — not a car battery. Keep it in a sealed jug, do not mix it with used oil, and never pour it down a drain or onto soil. Confirm antifreeze on Oceanside Fire HHW — Industry Street or an auto-parts fluid take-back. Pets are poisoned by sweet coolant spills — clean drips.
