Commercial businesses cannot discharge antifreeze down the drain.
The State of Colorado's Hazardous Waste Division categorizes spent antifreeze according to the disposal option used. Spent antifreeze is a hazardous waste unless it is recycled.
Can spent antifreeze be flush down the drain? NO. The Municipal Code forbids the discharge of any hazardous wastes to the sewer. If you discharge hazardous wastes to the drain, you are required to report the discharge to the City of Longmont's Industrial Pretreatment Program, State of Colorado and EPA.
Can antifreeze be discharged to a storm drain? NO. Antifreeze is toxic. Storm drains lead directly to the St. Vrain River without treatment.
What is the proper disposal option? Spent antifreeze may be taken off-site for proper disposal by a hazardous waste hauler OR taken off-site for recycling OR recycled on site.
