Or you could look at whether you put it in a petrol can (green) or a diesel one (red). Of course, it matters little as it will have degraded and is best disposed of through hazardous waste.
This can genuinely goes back to the fuel crisis of 2000. It just sat there for 21 years.
I don't know if the colour of can will be relevant as people were just putting what they could in whatever can was laying about.
I could throw it on the Bar b q next summer I suppose.

Have a bonfire of all your old Tory/Brexit literature Glassers!
Deep clean the house - anything that could have led to your old ways could have a similar impact on your kids. It's the most sensible thing - think of it as a pre-intervention to all those closest to you.

As far as I am aware, yes it is allowed. I know of no limit that the petrol station puts on purchase (although they may do). They are proper containers for storage too. Who knows? He might be some really important key worker who has to travel long distances by car? However, if he isn't, is it sensible? No.
Petrol degrades with longer term storage and will not work so well and damage the engine. You can pay a premium for higher quality ones that take much longer to degrade - Aspen springs to mind.
There are rules about how to store petrol but none that say you can't. His car will stink of it transporting that, though. The fumes are mildly toxic.
Not aware of any limit you can purchase but there is a limit of 30 litres on the amount you can carry, in cans, in a motor vehicle.

Three easy ways: 1. Your council will collect, for a fee... 2. Specialist waste firms such as Sackers will take it, for a fee 3. Pop a couple of cans a fortnight in your regular waste, suitably buried with other stuff. *
* this is illegal, I think.
We were told by the council that they would collect for a fee, or their alternative suggestion was to leave it uncovered until it had completely solidified, and then just place recovered in a black bag in the domestic rubbish.

I always thought that hoarding petrol was illegal - if not, it’s still extremely dangerous.
You can store up to 30 litres at home without having to inform your local PEA, (Petroleum Enforcement Authority). Then, if you get permission it's 275 litres. This info from HSE website. HTH.

You can put dried out paint in the domestic waste if it is double bagged. To speed up drying it out, add soil and leave the lid off.
I was joking about chucking it in the bar b q. I did that 25 years ago. The flames shot all the way back into the can. Luckily I was wearing a short sleeved polo shirt but it still burnt off every hair on my arm.

Yep
Depends if they are water based or oil based paints. If water based can fill the tin with soil or sand and put in bin. If live in Suffolk it seems you can't get rid of it. Freddie Ears may have a point with his number 3

Posted this before - these guys are amateurs.
In Lagos during the petrol shortages area boys would fill jerry cans, then split them into 2 (adding water) before walking up and down the lines of frustrated motorists selling them for twice the price at the pumps.
That's how you exploit petrol shortages. And the danfo (bus) drivers upped their fares too for the duration of the shortages.
Proper unadulterated capitalism, in all it's glory.
Odd that there'd be petrol shortages in Nigeria. Isn't that where they make the bloody stuff?
