Any tips on garage chemical disposal? Update - neighbor stopped by and took most of it!

Edit: Thanks Oppo - super helpful folks pointed me to a regional hazardous waste collection! You are all awesome!

2nd edit: Neighbor stopped by and took everything that I had in the driveway! Sometimes living in the sticks next to other hicks has a benefit. I’ll have to set more out as I finish going through the garage. He’s now rooting through the dumpster for scrap metal as well.

As I’m moving across the country soon, I am going through my garage this week and I have way more motor oil, antifreeze, gear oil and aerosol solvents than I thought I did.

I’ve got this plus a cabinet full of things like brake clean, carb clean and pb blaster. I don’t feel like moving a bomb across the country next to my sofa.

The oil I know I can drop off a few gallons at a time at oreillys, autozone and so on but what about the Antifreeze and other stuff? I don’t want to put it in a landfill, but not sure what my options are.

Alternatively if you live near St Louis and want dozens of cans of brake clean, carb clean and penetrating oil come and get them.
