Default Old Gas - disposal?

Have about gallon and half of very old gas I bought right after Hurricane Sandy. Where can I take to dispose of? I live in Point Pleasant. Called their recycling center, they don't take it. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Al

If it does not have water in it , dump it in your vehicle a half
gallon at a time. It will burn mixed with all the new gas.

As long as no water in it, I do the same thing. Let car consume it dilluted in the 24 gallon gas tank

I'd put it with the mower over my car personally. Top off a 5 gallon container with the old stuff and burn it up. Might be my signature (Keansburg Kutter)...but my lawn grows fast in the spring.

See you soon out there Al...and anytime on my ride.

how about if you have a gas/oil mixture? I'm not sure if putting it in a car with fuel injectors is a good idea. I have gallons of mixture left over from prevous years.

If it's years old, that would make it tough. Recycling center?

Last years? Look down one of the local docks and find someone with an older 2 stroke carbed and give it away.
