How to Dispose of Oil and Gas From a Lawnmower

Many county recycling agencies recycle mowers at no charge to you. Check with the recycler to find out how to prepare your mower before dropping it off. At minimum you will need to drain the gas and oil from the engine. Put them in DOT approved containers and dispose of them at your local hazardous waste agency.

If gas is in your oil tank due to other circumstances than you accidentally pouring it in, your lawnmower needs to be serviced. This could be the result of the fuel float being stuck.
