I don't think Autozone/Jiffy Lube will, the ones around me up north don't anyways.

Household Hazardous Waste Facility open Tue and Wed from 12 to 7:
http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/sws/hhw.htm

Up to 30 gallons of waste, they'll take your oil too.

by the way a lot of lube centers that offer coolant flushes will take used antifreeze if you ask them forgot to add that before

hell yeah, i went to O'Reilly's once to dispose of oil and they said it was a 5 dollar surcharge..... I went to Pep Boys to dispose of some batteries from work, they wanted a 10 dollar "core charge" per battery, Interstate gave me 10 bucks per battery... so screw them all

The city might take it, I know Pearland takes oil - so I assume they'll take coolant - check the locations though, it's not at city hall!
