Proper disposal of Silicon Brake Fluid

[maxwedgechar]

In a deal I acquired some silicon brake fluid in gallon tins. Unfortunately the tins are leaking. I have them sitting in a metal tray. What do I do with it so as not to foul the environment?

That stuff is kind of expensive.

Can you put it in gallon milk jugs or something like that?

I know Silicon doesn't absorb water like regular. Is there anything else to be worried about besides dirt or dust? I was thinking I could run it through cheese cloth or something and yes back into a good container.

Pour on firewood that you’ll be using outside?

Do whatever you would do with used engine oil
