It’s easy to forget about the dangers of gas disposal until you have some leftover in your garage or driveway. If you’ve recently changed your car’s oil, you may have some old gas to get rid of. Here’s how to do it safely:
If you have a small amount of gas left over, less than a gallon, the best thing to do is use it up. Pour it into your car’s gas tank and top it off. This will help your car’s engine run more smoothly.
If you have more than a gallon of old gas, or if you don’t want to use it in your car, you can take it to AutoZone. AutoZone stores will accept up to 5 gallons of old gasoline per person, per day. They will dispose of it properly for you.
To dispose of old gasoline at AutoZone, first make sure the gas is in a safe container. A safe container for gasoline is one that is made out of metal or heavy-duty plastic and has a tight-fitting lid.
Once you have your gas in a safe container, take it to your nearest AutoZone store and tell the associate that you’d like to dispose of it. They will take care of the rest!
AutoZone associates are trained in the proper disposal of hazardous materials like gasoline, so you can be sure that your old gas will be disposed of safely and correctly.
