Just curious if anyone will admit what they do with old brake fluid.

It's nasty ****************, and the places that take oil, ATF, etc won't touch it. I've asked before and all I get is crickets. I'm just sitting on a couple quarts of old fluid and want to dispose of it properly.

You have to pass the law to know what's in it! LOL..... Here on the LEFT coast there is a hazardous waste collection day at the local landfill. They accept everything. Try calling your local waste management to find details. I would think Washington would have something similar.

Here in LA there are free toxic chemical "round ups" sponsored by local cities or the county where they collect all types of hazardous materials for proper disposal. You just drive in, drop it off, and drive out. Takes about two minutes.

I save up materials like brake fluid, coolant, car batteries, electronics, etc and drop them off once a year at a local collection.
