Watery Petrol Disposal - Where??

[alahol2]

Got rid of engine oil at Port Solent council tip today. Sure I saw a sign saying 'Petrol' above the tank. ...Or maybe it said 'No petrol'?

More likely "No petrol"

What can I take to the Portsmouth Recycling Centre?

The recycling centre has the facilities to dispose of:

‘bric-a-brac’ – that can be resold
bulky furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes etc
car batteries
cardboard - can also go in your recycle bin
cement bonded asbestos (cba) – although we can only accept small amounts that have been double wrapped in plastic, due to health and safety reasons. delivery of cba must be pre-booked by phoning the site to ensure there is enough spare capacity for the material - 023 9221 9819
computers - tip: ensure that you clean your personal information from the hard disks - simply deleting information is not enough

The OP asked for a responsible way of disposing of it. That is not and the council will come down on you like a ton of bricks if they catch you

They do..... and it was less than 5L...

..but to sum up responses so far, no one knows how to dispose of unwanted petrol... interesting

Have you got any unwanted money you want to dispose of?
