Take the old coolant back to Jiffy Lube. 
Local laws are different. In Colorado, any store that sells coolant, motor oil, etc. must accept them for recycling. Though the most common excuse is "our tank is full." So just put the coolant in a container that you don't need back, and leave it with them and walk out.

Show them the original paperwork, maybe they would.Or look up free recycling in your city/county. Most cities and counties would do this so people don't pour toxic waste down the storm drain. My county does free hazmat recycling twice a year.
When I can't wait, I just put the fluid in milk jugs and drop them off at the local CheckerAuto store. Walk away before the clerk can lie to me that their tank is full.
