What do i do with it? Can I save it for bulk trash or will they not take it because of the gasoline issue? It still runs, but only barely. Thanks for suggestions.

Pull the fuel line from the carburetor and drain any gas in the tank into a plastic soda bottle. Leave the cap off the gas tank and any residual gas will evaporate in a few hours.
Maplewood took away my old mower this past spring.
An alternative is Freecycle.

Another thing to do is call Fred Hodges (you'll find his name in the archives). That man will take just about ANYTHING away...as long as it fits in the truck. And he's super nice to boot. |

Offer it up for free...there's lots of people who like to tinker with engines and would have a blast with a lawnmower...nowing it's not in the best of shape. |
