A post or two suggests burning the oily rags and waste. I suggest looking at your local laws regarding this, I know it is illegal to burn this waste around here and I suspect similar laws exist in most areas. Your local fire department should be able to answer this kind of question for you.

In order to avoid this problem as much as possible, I use water-based products when I can. There are differences that take some adjustment, but water-based products are easier to clean up and much safer overall.
