Spent antifreeze collection and recycling

Used antifreeze, commonly called coolant, carries heavy metals and ethylene glycol. We collect it as its own stream, never blended with other products, so it can be remanufactured into recycled antifreeze.

We reply the same business day. No account needed to ask.

Spent Antifreeze Collection

Why used antifreeze needs proper handling

When considering a company to recycle used antifreeze, it's important to consider several things. Used antifreeze, commonly referred to as "coolant," contains hazardous substances like heavy metals and also organic compounds like ethylene glycol. As you are likely aware, glycol can be toxic to animals, so it's really important it gets handled and managed properly.

The process

What happens to your used antifreeze

At UES, used antifreeze gets collected, transported, and managed as a separate stream so that it can be remanufactured and reused. It never gets blended in with other products so we can capture all the elements needed to provide recycled antifreeze that can be offered back to the market. The used antifreeze continues to get reused and never gets discarded.

So, when you are considering service providers and considering the environment, call UES, then you can consider it done.
