Oils and alcohol are a bit different. If you're going to make the effort to recycle, why not make sure you're not contaminating the whole container.

Wal-mart takes it all back and they DON'T let you dump anti-freeze into the oil bin, but they do mix tranny fluid, gear oil, motor oil, etc.

Maybe it is 'fuged out, maybe not. I think there's a reason that oil and antifreeze are collected separately.
