Seeking Safe Home for Toxic Goop

I’ve collected half a dozen cans of awful stuff like old paint, charcoal starter (we don’t use it anymore), and assorted very toxic chemicals. CANNOT find anything on NYC.gov or 311 about recycling hazardous chemical waste safely; there are E-waste pickups, but this ain’t that. Nassau County does 1 toxic-chem drop-off site a month, but it seems absurd to burn gas going out to Hempstead to ditch a shopping bag full of crud. Any suggestions? Otherwise, it’s going into the dumpster that’s parked out front on unrelated business!
