Antifreeze Collection Program

What Do I Do With It?

As stated in the Kitsap County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan, antifreeze is the most frequently encountered contaminant in oil brought in for recycling. The Solid Waste Division staff worked for several years to design and implement a county-wide antifreeze collection program. However, State and Federal regulations previously designated antifreeze a dangerous waste. Antifreeze collection was available only at the HHW Collection Facility. As a result of legislative efforts, antifreeze has since been reclassified and is now treated the same as used motor oil when it is recycled.

How does the program work?

In addition to the HHW Collection Facility, all drop-box facilities, the Poulsbo Recycling Center, and the Olympic View Transfer Station accept used antifreeze.

The used antifreeze collection program is operated and maintained in conjunction with the used motor oil collection program. All paperwork, training, spill kits, clean-up supplies are similar to those for the used motor oil collection program.

More information is available in the Solid Waste Annual Report for 2007.

Where can I recycle my used antifreeze?

All drop-boxes have a 10-gallon limit. The HHW Collection Facility does not have a limit, however, if the antifreeze is in anything larger than a 10-gallon container, call ahead to arrange a drop-off time. There is no charge for residential customers at the drop-box facilities or HHW Collection Facility. The only facility to accept contaminated antifreeze is the HHW Collection FacilityCheck all the local collection spots from the recycle database.

Businesses must contact the HHW Collection Facility to schedule an appointment during the SQG Collection.   If you have any questions or comments about antifreeze collection, please contact:
