where do you recycle misc. fluids?

IE ATF, coolant, power steering, etc.... I would like to switch out all of the fluids, but i'm not too sure on where to dump them.

Thanks!

Any gas station by law has to take used fluids like motor oil but thats NJ, not sure how the laws are out by you.

um....put em in a bottle, and have a party with your friends

a gas station should be able to take anything in a closed container.

It depends. The Autozone near me takes engine oil, but not ATF, gear oil, coolant, etc. Do NOT dump non-engine oil into their engine oil recycle drum - that is a really Bad Thing.

Scout around, make some calls, etc. Here in PA there is a website that lets you search for them: http://www.dep.state.pa.us/cgi_apps/oil/ maybe your state has something similar.
