Containers for waste

[02Steve15]

I plan on flushing out my ATF in the spring time and was just wondering what you guys would normally use to put something like that in. I was going to bring it to the place I get my oil changes so they can dispose of it.

I was going to do the coolant too but I need a new radiator, which is going in this Saturday so I won't need to worry about that for a while.

I'd use a bucket or a big oil jug

Usually I'll drain the old fluid into an oil pan and then when I'm done I put the old fluid back into the containers the new fluid came in. Makes it easy.

I use milk jugs.

yeah, use the old container you bought the fluid in, milk jugs, laundry detergent jugs, anything with a lid. I then take it to autozone to recycle it.

I bought a big blue kero jug and pour it in there. Then once it gets full I take it to Wal-Mart or an auto parts place.

This is what I do...the no spill oil change drain pans are great.

My neighbor has a tree. It always drops its leaves into our yard...

'nuff said.

I usually use gallon milk jugs if I buy things by the quart instead of putting it back into six bottles. If not just back into the original container

we have a 55 gal drum when full we sell to the guy down the road for his waste oil furnace

I use milk jugs.

Thought about that too. I just wasn't sure if it would be big enough to hold all the oil, ATF, whatever i'm flushing

Thanks for the responses..now I know what to use for the old fluids lol...I will have to check back for a DIY on flushing the ATF when the time comes. Kinda nervous, I'm a first timer at this
