Check with your local pollution control before discarding ANY
automotive related fluids. DO NOT follow the advice in this
post unless you are CERTAIN it is legal to dispose of antifreeze
in this manner in your specific location.

As long as you're connected to a sanitary sewer system, and NOT a 
septic tank, you can safely dispose of old coolant into the sewer 
(unless local regulations *specificly prohibit* this). Prestone even 
reccomends this, and has it printed on the back of their bottles. 
Take note that antifreeze is the ONLY automotive fluid that you can 
dispose of in the sewer. Everything else must be apporpriately 
recycled.

For safety & health purposes though, I'd reccomend pouring into the 
toilet, rather than the sink. And if you have pets, keep the lids 
down to make sure they don't drink from the water after you've 
poured/flushed everything away.
