Q: I would like to dispose of 3 gallons of stale gasoline and some kerosene. Would you provide the name(s) of places/organizations in Gwinnett County that accept those items?
—Ernie Kidhardt, Duluth
A: Gas and kerosene "are not recyclable," Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful states on its website (gwinnettcb.org).
The organization suggests mixing the gas and/or kerosene with cat litter, shredded newspaper or sawdust, which will absorb the liquid.
You can then place the mixture in a bag and take it to a landfill.
Evaporation is a way to get rid of small amounts of gas, the Gwinnett County (gwinnettcounty.com) government’s website states.
Pour about one-half-inch of gas into a “disposable metal tray,” such as an aluminum foil roasting pan.
Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful suggests leaving the pan in a “well-ventilated area away from children, pet and heat sources.”
Repeat the process until the gas is gone and then recycle the tray or throw it away.
Q: The Quicken Loans National at the Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Md., also is referred to as Tiger Woods’ annual tournament. What is Woods’ role in the tournament?
—Bill Beck, Atlanta
A: Woods serves as host of the tournament, which benefits the Tiger Woods Foundation.
He didn’t play in this year’s tournament, which ended Sunday.
The Quicken Loans National was known as the AT&T National from its founding in 2007 until 2013. It has been played at three courses, including seven times at Congressional Country Club.
The Tiger Woods Foundation is in its 20th year.
