I'd for sure rather pour it down the sink diluted than leave it around outside for animals to poison themselves with.

I'll second this. I'm sure the intent there was harm reduction definitely.I'd for sure rather pour it down the sink diluted than leave it around outside for animals to poison themselves with.
Yeah both county dumps (which in my county are just solid waste transfer station, nothing they house or process on site) will do normal household trash, reno/demo waste, tire/appliances/electronics (with a fee per item) but no oil or hazardous waste, with a lot of signage threatening fines/arrest for it.If you can only find oil takers then put some oil in it and tell em you blew a head gasket. If you don't have a septic system and are on state/county systems you can highly dilute it and just pour it down the drain. DO NOT do the same thing with oil.
Very surprised to hear you don't have a dump near you. Mine will take almost anything, but has designated days of each month for certain things (electronics, batteries, old fire extinguishers, etc.) but they ALWAYS take my oil and coolant.
