municipalities have laws governing the dumping of antifreeze but according to industry insiders the laws are ignored as often as not one service station owner said that antifreeze regularly goes down the drain in spite of regulations requiring that it be put into a sump and disposed of as hazardous waste used antifreeze itself consisting of ethylene glycol mixed with water constitutes a hazardous waste but worse it also contains metals and other sludge waste which will contaminate our water supply when its dumped down the drain it is these contaminants that necessitate the regular change of antifreeze in our vehicles a new process available at more and more service stations and at many ford dealerships lets a mechanic flush your old antifreeze into a cleaning machine remove the corrosives and metals and return the antifreeze to your radiator as good as or better than new better yes because before this cleaning process was devel oped about 25 per cent of antifreeze stayed in the car when you thought it all had been drained with the new method pressurized air forces 95 per cent of the antifreeze out of the system for cleaning new additives are put back in to restore lubricating and anti corrosive qualities so ask your service station if they have the system yet and if not when will they have it the whitchurchstouffville recycling group observe earth day every day
