Subject:Re: How to properly dispose of coolant?

Invite every kitty in the neighborhood over for a Jim Jones style
cool-aid fest!
Sorry to all you cat lovers out there but I couldn't resist :-)

Don't do what I mentioned above!  Do call your local government (city,
county, etc) and see if they have a recycling center where you can take
the old antifreeze.  Many do.  If not then Autozone or Advance Auto
stores will take it and recycle it for you.

Disclaimer:
No kittens were injured in the writing of this email.  If you get a
splash of antifreeze on your mouth and you decide it tastes
"Forbidden-licious" TM and drink the rest you will die.  Don't say we
didn't warn you.

Have a great Friday!
