* Gasoline Disposal Guidelines
Due to the volatile nature of this product, it must be contained in a suitable, hard plastic or metal container 5 gallons or less in size, sealed and labeled as ’gasoline’. The container cannot be returned. If the gasoline is mixed (2-stroke), it may be dropped off with the other motor oil products. Please, be cautious when selecting a container as all types of plastic are not able to store gasoline and remain stable. All containers should have a fume vent capability (this is built-in on containers designed to contain gasoline, for other containers small holes can be applied to allow venting). LEARN MORE about how to safely transport and store gasoline at home.
Unacceptable Items (The Landfill will not allow disposal/ drop-off of these items)
