Ask them if there is a disposal fee. There is sometimes a disposal fee for toxic waste, so it's good to know beforehand. Taking advantage of community waste collection days is a great way to manage hazardous household waste without harming the environment. Collection days are typically sponsored by a local government agency. Go online to look up your community waste collection day to find out the date, drop off location, and the materials that the program will accept. Most service stations (gas stations) accept used or unwanted motor oil, but some may also accept kerosene. If you find a station that does accept kerosene, make sure you deliver it in a properly marked container so that it does not get confused for any other type of gasoline or oil. It's best to call service stations in advance to see if they accept kerosene. They will be able to point you in the right direction to safely dispose of your kerosene. Some fire stations may even accept your unwanted kerosene.
