If you have a wooden garden fence, use it instead of creosote! Other than that, take it you your nearest tip for recycling - reminds me, I must do the same with the old unused oil I have in my garage........

Whoops, meant to say it was new mineral oil left over after changing over to synthetic.

As well as the squirty oil can, don't you have a motor mower?

Forget that 'only use approved oil...'
