I would contact a nearby gas station that has a mechanic garage, or an independant repair facility, as they have provisions for disposal of coolant and the like.

Another option.....and be SURE you check before you do it!......
Many municipal sewer systems are set up to be just fine at processing relatively small quantities of Ethylene Glycol (main ingredient in Antifreeze). In fact, the bacteria the sewage treatment plants have THRIVE on the stuff!
In other words, it MIGHT be ok to simply flush it down the toilet!
Note also I said sewer system, NOT the storm drain (which often goes straight to the Bay......obviously not a good place to dump antifreeze!).
