Old gasoline - How to dispose of?

[Brian N.]

At the start of spring I empty the gas from my snow blower, outboard for the boat and lawn mower (the gas was stabilized) and put in fresh gas and stabilizer. I usually add the old gas to the gas tank of my car. This year I emptied the gas from the lawn mower and it had some white cloudy sediment, so I definitely don't want to add that to the car. I now have a container of gas that I don't know how to dispose of. A friend suggested pouring it into some cat litter then dispose of it in the garbage, but I'm a bit hesitant to do that. Any other suggestions?

Not sure if there's anything like it near you Brian, but we have a local hazardous waste disposal center here. It's where I take the used oil when I change the oil in the car, and I've taken old gas there as well. I would not recommend putting it in the regular garbage, cat litter or not.

Most fire departments will take it.  They use ir for controlled burns and teaching new recruits.

Run the gas through a lawn mower or old boat system that has an older gas filter with removable bowl.  Clean out the filter bowl and call it good.
