The local government will talk high and low all about how I should dispose of my old car fluids like coolant via the proper recycling methods. Yet when it comes time for me to get rid of my old coolant, the recycling centre refuses to accept it because it's not on the one day a year they allow. And god forbid you might have something on that day, I guess you're just stuck keeping bottles of waste in your garage for another year.
Edit: I guess to put it more generally, you try to do the right thing, but they make it near on impossible to do.
