1. Never pour gasoline down the drain or storm sewer. Gasoline can ignite and cause fires and pollution.
2. Take your gasoline to a hazardous waste collection center. Many cities and counties have hazardous waste collection centers where you can dispose of gasoline and other hazardous materials safely.
3. If you don't have access to a hazardous waste collection center, you can let the gasoline evaporate in a safe location. Place the gas can in a well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flames. Let the gasoline evaporate completely before throwing away the gas can.
4. Never burn gasoline. Burning gasoline can release toxic fumes and cause fires.
Here are some additional tips for safely handling gasoline:
* Always use gasoline in a well-ventilated area.
* Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
* If you spill gasoline, clean it up immediately with water and soap.
* Store gasoline in a safe container away from heat sources and open flames.
* Never smoke or light a match near gasoline.
* If you have any questions about how to safely dispose of gasoline, contact your local hazardous waste collection center.
