Where do you put your antifreeze when doing a flush?

I used the tubing on the drain method into a 5 gal bucket i trimmed down to slide under the radiator area. then after all is done put the used fluid in the new jugs and drop it off for disposal....after I too leave a tasting bowl for wandering cats who use my mulch for cat box.

I generally pour it out right along my fence line to kill the weeds and grass right there so I don't have to weedeat so much. Quite effective too.

I use a 5 gallon buck with NO lifting of the vehicle :D I use some of my translucent snowmobile fuel line, siphon & drain the radiator. Any sized hose will work for ya.

It just fricken sucks, because everytime I grab that bucket to dispose of it, I somehow trip and the bucket flies outta my hands into the fricken weeds....can't figure it out! I think the green stuff is actually safe to pour down drains and I believe the new orange stuff can be dumped on the yard.....can't remember where I heard/read that though.

I keep mine in a 5 gallon pail.
I don't flush since my stuff is clean i use Rotella ELC Nitrile free and distilled water. it stays clean and doesn't turn to rusty sludge like conventional green.
