Where to dispose brake fluid in Fremont?

Hi all.

Does anyone know where I can dispose of brake fluid in Fremont? or any nearby city for that matter?

San Jose isn't really close, but I am kind of open to going a little further to dispose of the fluid properly.

umm the local sewer?

j/k

but as far as kragen not taking it... dont quote me but i thought that any oplace that sold those chemicals had to take them for proper disposal as well... i think i even heard it is a law, the onyl reason they could say no is if the container is full

my grandpa just used to dump it in with the oil and bring it to kragen... they didnt say no then

The sewer cleanout in my driveway is my first choice. Another viable option is a nearby storm drain. Both of these also accept motor oil,transmission fluid,differential fluid,and coolant.

He is definitely the MOST over zealous dude in a cop uniform. I remember getting pulled over and he was struttin' his belly like "I'm Officer Rossetti with the Fremont Police Department..." yada yada. It's cool how he stopped in traffice to wait for me to pull out to give me a ticket for front window tint. I hope that guy chokes on his obesity soon.
