Default Best way to drain anti freeze

Im changing my radiator today and the anti feeze needs somewhere to go. Whats a good container that Id probably have around my house to drain the anti freeze out. I was thinking of pulling out the drain plug and just loading it into milk containers and 2L bottles but what would I do with it after that lol I could re use it i guess also.

Home Depot has 5 gallon orange buckets for just under $5 and the lids for about $1.60. You can buy clear tube hose by the foot there as well for just a few cents. Use that then take it to one of these collection sites for recycling.

There are HUGE fines if a neighbor or cop sees you spilling that shit, plus you are liable if someone's pet drinks any spill and dies.
