Burn it! If you don't have a burn pile, find someone who has and donate some
starter fluif.
I have fallen tree limbs and gigantic weeds and odd bits of lumber, that
make a 10' or 12' pile, a couple times each year. I keep my old oil changes,
in a 55 gal. drum and use that with a little gas, to get the pile burning
fast and hot.
My well water is so contanimated with fertilizers, I don't need oil, gas or
antifreeze seeping into it as well.
