Used Antifreeze Disposal & Recycling Services
Serving Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend from our local, family-owned operation, Rogue Waste Recovery makes compliant coolant handling straightforward—from pickup to proper recycling—so you stay focused on operations. When your team drains coolant from vehicles, generators, or industrial chillers, you’re handling a regulated waste stream that must be managed responsibly. While used coolant can be harmful to the environment if mishandled, in our program it is not handled as a “hazmat” shipment.

We reclaim both ethylene-glycol and propylene-glycol solutions and route them for responsible processing, reducing environmental impact and helping you stay aligned with federal and state requirements.
Why Proper Antifreeze Disposal Matters
Key Risks of Improper Coolant Handling
- Environmental impact — Ethylene glycol is toxic to wildlife and pets if released.
- Regulatory exposure — EPA/TCEQ enforcement actions can be costly.
- Workplace risks — Slips and skin/eye contact hazards if spills aren’t contained.
- Operational slowdowns — Improper storage complicates logistics and audits.
Accepted Coolants & Oil-Based Fluids
Rogue Waste Recovery focuses on oil-derived waste streams. We accept:
- Spent ethylene-glycol antifreeze
- Spent propylene-glycol antifreeze (including RV and food-grade blends)
- Mixed coolant/water solutions
- Lab and industrial chiller coolants
- Glycol-based heat-transfer fluids
- Coolant captured during radiator flushes
Our Closed-Loop Coolant Recycling Process
Disposal doesn’t have to mean waste. Our approach keeps usable glycol in circulation while minimizing impact:
- Collection & Segregation — Each pickup is labeled and logged to prevent cross-contamination.
- Transport under EPA/TCEQ/DOT IDs — Cradle-to-grave tracking under TCEQ# A85929 • EPA# TXR000042945 • USDOT# 1967388.
- Filtration & Distillation — Solids and contaminants are removed; clear glycol distillate is recovered.
- Additive Re-balancing — Inhibitors and stabilizers are blended to reach OEM-compatible specs.
- Return to Market — Recovered glycol is used as base stock for new coolant or heat-transfer fluids.
Every pickup is paired with the documentation you need for audits and internal reporting.
Flexible Service Options & Scheduling
Whether you generate a few gallons a month or large volumes, we have a program to fit:
- On-Call Pickups — Ideal for shops and dealerships. Call when your drum is full; our average service time is 48 hours from your call (business days).
- Scheduled Route Service — Recurring visits for plants, fleets, and facilities that prefer a set cadence.
- Bulk Vacuum Extraction — High-volume removal for major change-outs.
Compliance & Documentation
- Manifests/Receipts — Signed at pickup; we provide all documentation after service (no customer portal required).
- Certificates of Recycling — Issued after processing to validate reclamation.
- Operating IDs (Quick Reference) — TCEQ# A85929 • EPA# TXR000042945 • USDOT# 1967388.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix used oil with spent antifreeze in the same container?
No. Mixing waste streams complicates recycling and can trigger reclassification. Keep fluids separate and properly labeled.
Do I need to treat or neutralize coolant before storage?
No. Store used coolant in a sealed, labeled drum and keep it closed until pickup.
How soon can you pick up my full drum?
Our average service time is 48 hours from your call during business days.
Will I get the paperwork I need?
Yes. You’ll receive signed pickup documentation and a Certificate of Recycling after processing. We provide all documentation after pickup; we do not use a customer portal.
Is this considered “hazardous material”?
Used coolant must be managed responsibly and can be harmful to the environment, but in our program it is not handled as a “hazmat” shipment. We follow EPA/TCEQ/DOT rules applicable to this waste stream.
Do you offer emergency spill response or 24/7 service?
We operate during business hours (Mon–Fri, 7:00–5:00) with an average 48-hour phone-to-service time.
