Disposing of winter anti-freeze ??

Hi all. Newbie here to TTs and wondering what y'all do with your winter anti-freeze as far as disposal ??? Could it be saved and reused ?? I don't know of anywhere around me that accepts used anti-freeze. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

  • I am indeed talking about RV anti-freeze in the water lines. My problem is I don't live near a sewer line. I'm kinda off the beaten path on a well and septic. I don't wanna just dump this stuff on the ground or drain it into my septic tank due to environmental concerns. So I guess my question should have been, Can it be reused ?? Or would I be better off next year just blowing the lines empty with compressed air ?? Thanks again.
  • If you are talking about RV antifreeze that's in your water lines, than it's safe to just dump it in the sewer line. Typically, you hook up fresh water and run fresh water through all the water lines until everything is clear, so the water will be in your gray and black water tanks. Then, just dump your tanks as you normally would. And, don't forget to sanitize your fresh water tank before your first trip.

    RV antifreeze isn't toxic, so it is safe to handle as waste water.
