Antifreeze

Antifreeze is considered a hazardous waste and requires special disposal.

Antifreeze is accepted at UCRRA’s Household Hazardous Waste events. UCRRA’s collection events are open to Ulster County residents ONLY, and an appointment is required.

Businesses with hazardous waste should refer to our list of Hazardous Waste Removal Companies.

If the container is completely EMPTY, please check with your recycling service provider for instructions, though typically containers that once held hazardous substances are NOT recyclable.
