I have about a gallon of brake fluid to disposal of. O Reilly's in Damonte Ranch said they only do oil. Anyone know where I can dispose of this without pouring it into an oil drain pan and making them think it's oil?

I thought all the FLAPS oil tanks could take anything oil based like ATF, gear oil, brake fluid, engine oil, blah blah. I've been combining all these fluids into one jug to pour in their tank a few times a year. Hopefully that's still the case and I'm not a huge jackass.
Cheers!
Same here. Only thing I try and keep out of my "oil" jug is coolant.
Brake fluid is not oil based.

Not oil based?
Oops

I've heard kitty litter worked too (even the used stuff)...
Same parent material so yeah definitely.
Costco kitty litter is a cost effective solution to making wet waste into dry waste for the purpose of normal disposal.
Only wheeled Kia Sorento in Nevada on 31's.

Automobile dealership? Jiffy Lube? Automotive brake repair shop?
I didn't think about a brake shop honestly. I don't know if they'd take my brake fluid since they probably have to pay a hazardous waste disposal fee. Maybe I'll look into it but I might go the "kitty litter plus trash can" way.
I haven't checked into it personally, but I've read Big O Tire Centers accept brake fluid. Don't know about fees. Anybody else confirm this? I have almost a gallon of this stuff hangin' around I'd like to get rid of…

"The dog don't like you planting stuff there. It's his backyard. If you're the only one who craps in something, you own it. Remember that."-I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter?

I'll take it. Makes good machining lubricant. Easier than my usuall lard and kerosene mixture for cast iron. Pm me and Ill try to meet you somewhere this week.
Now, that is something I have never thought of. I am going to have to try that out. Thanks for the tip!!
I can bring it to Carson City if you want it. I work by the NDOT and DMV Buildings.
Ok sounds good. My kids start school thurs of this week so once I drop them off the first day I will head up that way to pick it up whenever is a good time for you. Cell is 704-783-5828. Just shoot me a text or call thurs morn around 9ish and we can figure it out.
Does Friday this week work for you? I'm picking up a trencher in Carson City so I can bring it then. Otherwise I'll probably add some dirt to it this weekend and trash it.
