How to dispose of Old Gasoline & Fuel

Steps

  1. Never pour gasoline down drains, on the ground, or into storm sewers.
  2. Store in an approved fuel container with a tight-fitting lid.
  3. Do not assume old or contaminated fuel becomes usable by dilution. Ask a qualified mechanic or the engine manufacturer; otherwise arrange accepted hazardous-waste collection.
  4. Large amounts must be taken to a household hazardous waste facility.
  5. Contact your local fire department if you're unsure about safe transport.

Gasoline is extremely flammable and toxic. Transport in approved containers only. Never store in glass or unapproved plastic.
