What is coolant as waste?
Discarded coolant and antifreeze are glycol-based and therefore hazardous waste. They may not be drained or mixed with waste oil, as this disrupts processing. Coolant requires separate, safe collection. IAM supplies the right containers and arranges the watertight chain.
Garages, workshops & industry
Glycol-based = hazardous waste
Collected apart from waste oil
Which coolant do we collect?

Frequently asked questions
Why can’t coolant go in with waste oil?
Coolant is glycol-based and disrupts oil processing. It must be collected separately and safely as hazardous waste.
Does IAM supply containers for coolant?
Yes, we supply the right, approved containers so coolant is collected and stored safely.
Does IAM also collect antifreeze and brake fluid?
Yes. Antifreeze and brake fluid are glycol-based, just like coolant, and are collected, transported and processed separately as hazardous waste — combinable in one pickup.
Can coolant be collected together with other KGA?
Yes, coolant is part of a broader KGA collection and can be combined in one pickup.
Is coolant hazardous waste?
Yes. Used coolant and antifreeze are glycol-based hazardous waste (KGA) and must be collected, transported and processed separately. We help you classify them correctly.
Do I receive documentation when coolant is disposed of?
Yes. With every collection you receive the correct accompanying waste note, so the chain is demonstrable and audit-proof.
