Sludge disposal

I just got a great deal on a 20" Highland Park saw. The previous owner included a bunch of mineral oil, but one of the containers has about two gallons of what looks like a thick, sludgy mix of oil and rock dust at the bottom. I know this can't just be dumped, so I'm wondering what the proper way is to dispose of this stuff. Any advice would be appreciated!
 
Hey, great job on that score! As for the sludge, I'd recommend reaching out to your local hazardous waste facility. They're usually more than happy to take in used oil mixed with debris. Seriously, don't just toss it out, let's keep our planet clean
