The local landfill should have a place to retire them. Tom Someday, it'll all be over....

Around here, we just put it out on the curb and within an hour someone will come by with a pickup truck or trailer and haul it off. (South Alabama).

There is no usual procedure in the USA. It varies by localities and ranges from very strict with a large charge for removal, including collecting the coolant, to just take it to the dump and they smash it into the ground with the other stuff. Or at the very bottom end, they just dump in in a hole and eventually cover it up.

Most people just leave it on the curb and someone in a rusty old truck will pick it up at night for scrap or you can have the coolant sucked out and a bright orange sticker slapped on it.
