used brake fluid

[alph]

alright, what do you do with old brake fluid?  when I change my engine oil I collect it in a 5 gallon jug, bring it down to the jiffy lube place were they burn it for heating their building,

but, what do you do with old brown, brake/clutch fluid?

I dump that shite in the same 5-gallon jug that I put my used oil in.

I just read somewhere (here?) that brake fluid is glycol.

Treat it the same as your old anti freeze then.

at the shop we put engine oil,brake fluid and transmission fluid all in same waste container

I dump mine in with my old oil too.

Brake fluid is nothing more than a hydraulic fluid/oil and it is accepted practice in most areas for it to be dumped in the same recycle tank.

They send it to a secondary refinery where it is processed and split into fractions, then sent to other refiners/blenders to be either returned to the production cycle, or if it's too heavy it'll go to a cement kiln for burner fuel.

Here, the ecology station (local dump) took mine in the same pickle jar it was collected in as long as it was clearly marked. I had marked the lid with "used brake fluid". No fee charged after they confirmed I was a local.
