Default Getting rid of old kerosene

Today I did the job I hate most, cleaning the chain. It was mingin I poured about 200ml kerosene into an old jam jar and used an old (soft) tooth brush to scrub, gently, at the rust that had started to attack the chain. I blame winter salt And now it's nice and clean again, not kwak clean, but it'll do.

So - how do I get rid of the used kerosene? It's filthy and disgusting, obviously I can't pour it down the drain, I can't burn it as I don't have a patio heater, and even if I did I wouldn't put this noxious stuff in the fuel mix, so what can I do with it?

Org advice required please
