Default Disposing of drained fuel?

Maybe the dumbest question I have ever asked... if I end up having to drain the gas out of my tanks in the garage, what do you do with all that fuel?

Buy a 5 gallon gas can or two and reuse it. If not in your Vette, in your daily driver.

Idk about where you live. But here autozone and many other auto stores will take oil free of charge. Local waste management will take some mixed stuff oil/coolant, im not sure about brake fluid, transmission fluid or anything like that. Youd have to call and find out. But i know what they will take its free up to a certain amount.

If it's not really contaminated I burn it in things I don't really care about.
