I'm taking apart an old rear projection TV to get rid of it piece-wise.
There are some clear, odorless, liquid CRT coolant sealed on top of each CRT. I accidentally spilled some inside the cabinet. What is the proper way to dispose of these liquid?
According to one web site, it contains ethylene glycol and glycerine. Should I mix it with with my car's old coolant and recycle it?

The proper recycling method depends on your location. Different government agencies require different disposal. From a practical viewpoint, you can safely dispose of it in any sanitary sewer system and it will be broken down completely within days by the bacteria in the system. You could pour it on the ground and the same thing would occur and other than the risk of ingestion by animals it would cause no problems.

Mix with water and use as auto coolant.
