Default Used Radiator Disposal

It is just plastic and aluminum so it canjust go in the trash, right. I can't imagine you would want a rebuilt radiator, but if a shop would buy the core off me, I would be happy to take the $$. Got a stock replacement. Looked at a Fluidine, which would have been nice, but would have had to do more work to make it work, and figure the stock radiator, while a weak, plastic, epoxy and aluminum piece of shit, will last another 7 years and 125,000 miles, which is probably longer than I will have the car.

Try taking it to the local recycling center. If they don't give you a few bucks for the aluminum, toss it in the trash. I don't see anything wrong with that since millions of aluminum cans make it there everyday.

...that's cool, you can call a rad shop, they might take it if the tanks are okay, they could recore it for another person and give you a few buck. If not in the garbage it goes.

Throw it away. No one will give you money for it, and it's a waste of time to drive it to a recycling place.
