D O I T R IGHT .
Ethylene glycol is the organic compound
widely used as automotive antifreeze and is
produced from natural gas, a nonrenewable resource. Waste antifreeze may
contain heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and chromium in high enough levels to make it a regulated hazardous waste.
Waste antifreeze should never be dumped
on land, poured down a storm drain, into a
ditch, dry well or septic system, and never
discharged into our sanitary sewer system.
Meridian residents may recycle their waste
antifreeze at the following locations:

Used motor oil is often contaminated with lead, magnesium, copper, zinc, PCBs and
other heavy metals picked up
from the engine.
Motor oil dumped down
stormdrains, into canals,
ditches, or on the ground will
seep into, and contaminate,
our ground water.
Stormdrains direct water and pollutants to our creeks
and canals, not
our wastewater
treatment plant.
