[at-l] Disposal of white gas

How can I safely (and environmentally soundly) 
dispose of a small amount (about 12 oz.) of white 
gas remaining in an MSR fuel bottle I want to ship?  

I no longer have the original gas can, or I would just 
pour it back in there.  Can it be used in a lawnmower 
or gas powered brushcutter?  I don't  have any metal 
screw-top containers--can it go in a glass bottle and 
be put in the regular trash?  Or do I need to take it 
to the hazardous waste facility?  Or do something 
else?  What about using it, in small amounts, to start 
campfires, or fires in my grill?
