Where do you dump used transmission fluid in the USA?
 
I found this newsgroup but it seems to be only spam but I'll ask anyway.

My trash company on Monday wrote "motor oil only" on my half-dozen milk
jugs with red transmission fluid in them.

Where did you buy the new fluid ? Usually they will take used for recycling.

Â* Many chain auto parts stores accept it for recycling . Or you could
use it in a waste oil burner to melt aluminum and brass to cast into
useful and decorative items . I wouldn't recommend it for a forge though
, don't know what is in there that might contaminate your metal .

I used to drop off oil at Pep Boys and once left a battery. You could
just leave it near the shop.

Does the trash service have a drop off station? They tagged me once
for a partial gallon of old paint. Then I put the can in the
neighbors 97 gallon trash can.

As others say, an auto parts store, maybe, or a auto lube shop may
take it. IIRC ATF is basically detergent.

I know Pep Boys takes used motor oil here. He could try similar auto parts
chains. Also we have a county hazardous waste facility that takes antifreeze,
oil, paint, just about anything like that.

I called them up.
They said they take up to five gallons if they sold it.
No cross contamination is allowed they say.
So it can't be atf in a motor oil container they say.

I take it to my friendly local transmission shop. Just like I take my

oil

The local garbage company specifies clear containers for pickup. I took
mine (oil) to the HazMat Days last month and they didn't bitch about a
gallon Rotella jug. They did hand a guy's brake fluid back to him though.

The oil drop off was separate from the rest of the operation.
Unfortunately I got in the wrong line that I couldn't get out of and
spent about 20 minutes fuming. The workers were unloading items piece by
piece and carefully reading labels to see exactly what sort of hazardous
substance it might be.

Screw that. There's a transmission shop in town that burns used oil in
their shop heater. I'll bring it to them next time.

Ours had for the past 20 years or so. At first it was recycled

Safety Kleen (BresLube) has re-refinery half way between here and the

this area.

I noticed a sign at Firestone in Maryland that the law requires t hem to
take it.

There is also a county site, where I think it is recycled. They have
places for kerosene and antifreeze at the county site also.

They want to see a receipt that he bought atf. They might not insist on
it.

Apple wanted a copy of the owner's drivers license and a power of
attorney before they would unlock an ipad the the owner's late brother
had locked. After I got all that stuff, he didn't ask for it, didn't
look at it.

Walmart seemed to say they wanted the bar code number to pick somethiung
up but they only looked at my name on my driver's license.

How would they or anyone know who sold oil
that is now old and used?


There are radioactive" markers that show where the oil was sold

If you put a quart of product you bought
there in and then drained 5 out, now what?

Popular Science magazine in their feature series "Hints From the Model Garage"
addressed this issue for motor oil, and transmission fluid would be disposed
of the same way. It's the bottom left item on the page:

I very quickly adopted the use of a water hose instead of an air
hose - -- wash them down and squeegee the evidence down the drain
where the dust was caught by the oil in the grease trap - - -

dust flying everywhere, with no dust masks or containment.


Cough, cough, cough - it is just allergies.


I had an uncle who worked for Marshall Eclipse, aka the Marshall
Asbestos Corporation when Bendix bought it. He died of allergies...

Where do you dump used transmission fluid in the USA?

The new Interstate, I-11 was recently finished in NV. (bypass Boulder
City to cross the bridge below the Dam. Asbestos was discovered
laying above the soil. Anyway, your GPS may not know of I-11 yet.

"...In December 2013, UNLV researchers discovered naturally occurring
asbestos in the area that the Boulder City bypass was going to be
constructed in. Containing the asbestos and monitoring the surrounding
air to keep workers safe was estimated to cost at least an additional
$12 million dollars..."

I found this newsgroup but it seems to be only spam but I'll ask
anyway.

My trash company on Monday wrote "motor oil only" on my half-dozen
milk
jugs with red transmission fluid in them.

Your trash company takes motor oil? Never heard that before.


I put drain oil in an old milk jug and then put that in a trash bag
mixed in with the rest of the trash.Â* They've never rejected it.


Label the bag appropriately, and see if they accept it.

Oh great, now the lefties want us to label our trash?Â*Â* I suppose we
need to do multilingual labels as well?


Well, you could just follow the rules of your waste service. Or not, if
you are one of those "superior" righties.


OK we will now label our trash "Bob F".

Asbestos can be a problem and not just a dust mask is required but you
want to keep it off your clothes that you wear home. A friend just
retired from a shop that worked with Corian and said he is still getting
rid of the dust on his clothes and in the house.

Another friend worked with it but did it outside without protection
figuring the breeze would blow particles away. He's retired and has
slight asbestosis. Unlike other particulate asbestos is not attacked by
bodily fluids and cilia in the lungs cannot push it all out. Corian
dust is OK but not asbestos.

What bugs me are those that think if asbestos is just nearby it will
jump up and get them.

Is there anything on the AZ side yet? I came up through Kingman last
fall and it looked like the same old same old. I stopped and went back
across the dam for old times sake. Walked around looked at stuff but I
skipped the visitor center; I'm allergic to metal detectors.

That takes all the fun out of it. Dragging a 53' trailer across the dam
and up through the canyon used to be interesting.
