Antifreeze is ethylene glycol, and does not break down when in its pure form or unopened container.
When put into an engine and diluted with water, it flows through all the iron or aluminum and rubber hoses, slowly breaking it down and turns acidic.
It also lubricates the water pump, and is a rust preventative.
Antifreeze will last forever in a sealed container so open up and pour it in.

Most communities have annual waste collections where you take old paint and oil or as in your case anti freeze.But another source is you neighbour hood repair shop,or car dealer.They have waste pick-up o a regular basis.Good luck

It is fine to use old, unused antifreeze. It doesn't decompose in the bottle.

Yes. There are enough perserative to last it a lifetime. As long as its not contaminated with any foreign material it should be fine.

What if the anti freeze has globs in it? I accidently poured some in. Will the globs break down?
