G'day all,
Howdy Norm. Offer them to a bus or trucking company. They would burn them if pretty quick within a day.
Don't think that would be the case, MF, given that the composition is unknown and possibly a shandy.
Diesel contaminated with petrol is bad news for common-rail diesel engines. Conversely, diesel contamination of petrol decreases the octane number substantially, even at quite low levels.
Norm, the 'detox your home' dropoffs are the best bet in Vic, for getting rid of this sort of household stuff. Old fuel can also be used for parts cleaning - with appropriate safety precautions, if petrol is involved.
Businesses have to use commercial waste disposal services, and this can cost a bit, as it all has to have EPA 'chain of disposal' paperwork. In a past life, I had to use a waste disposal service [Chemsal] to pick up waste crude oil from a lab I ran.
There's a 'detox event' coming up in Dandenong next month;

One thing though, if you want to keep the jerrycans you might need to find a few 20L drums to decant the stuff into, for dropoff.
