So I do all my oil recycling at a local autoparts store. But where do people recycle their coolant?

Your dump? as in a registered landfill? You do know coolant is a environmental hazard, right?

He probably means there is a recycling center there. I've always wondered what the hell to do with stuff like brake cleaner, and PB blaster.. and stuff like that.. i have like a whole jar full of it i need to get rid of. Not to mention other types of hazardous fluids.

Coolant can be dumped into your toilet - it will be treated with your sewage and not harm the environment.

Any Autozone/Canadian Tire/Parts Source will take it back. I usually just bottle it up and drop it off at my friends shop.

This is the beauty of the new "tax" they put in. Has anyone noticed the extra charge when they buy a oil/filters/etc..?
