I had the problem of what to do with the toxic left overs everytiime I
change the coolant. I kept it in plastic buckets until the local recycle
folks called for paints, antifrezze, and other liquid toxics. then took
it to the recyclers.

Once I took it to a garage that had one of those pressure/vaccum coolant
exchange systems. The old antifreeze was simply collected in their
holding system for disposal along with their other liquids like oil,
brake fluid, etc, etc, etc.
