thanks for the link, i will read it all. I wonder if NJ branches of Pep Boys, Firestone or perhaps Autozone or Advance Auto Parts are accepting containers with automotive fluids ... :headbang:
this is info on ECAR in NJ (oil waste management):
http://www.ecarcenter.org/nj/nj-fluids.htm
unfortunately it does not cover old coolant waste.
kegunder, from discussion thread you linked,it seems that
WORST option is to dump it into the storm sewer:
"
Do not pour antifreeze into storm sewer openings, sinkholes, or abandoned wells where they will directly pollute the water. "
when someone cannot bring it to recycling station (e.g. there is none around or they have a collection week once a year and you cannot store it), it seems that it's
BETTER to flush it in toilet:
"
The major components of antifreeze can be broken down by organisms in a sewage treatment plant. If your home is connected to a sanitary or municipal sewer system, household quantities of antifreeze can be flushed down the drain with plenty of water."

I emailed NJ ECAR agency on some localized guidelines, if their answer is pitiful I am going to flush it in toilet (this waste water goes through a treatment plant).
I am still planning on flushing radiator myself, because simply cannot afford bringing car into shop for professional service atm, sry, trying to save money on simple to-do things ... doing what i can myself at my ride.
and now back to subject... where exactly is that drain plug on the back of radiator ? what am i looking for ? someone take a picture please ? i don't want to unscrew something important
