I cleaned all of This Sludge / Gunk from the bottom of my parts cleaner - I guess I have cleaned alot of stuff in the last 5 years!
YAY ! Less Sludge in the Parts washer.
Can you do better?

Now that you have the GUNK out of the parts cleaner,
What are you going to do with your GUNK?

| Go to your local hazardous waste recycling center with that pan and say, "I just bought a house and found this pan of GUNK in the garage." |

Looks like you have a pet dinasaur that hasn't been eating right. I don't know though. May be normal for a dinasaur.

Autozone used to take waste oil for free.
You could also try one of those drive though oil change places. In the winter they heat the shop with the used oil and sometimes don't have enough. Not sure if that bucket qualifies though..,.

Add some radiation to the GUNK........
Then it will ooze away and it's no longer your problem...

Not in an oil burner, no, but if incinerated the water and oil are gone and the rest is fairly inert except for whatever heavy metals there may be, but it's mostly dirt.

I put about 3 gallons of water in the bottom of my reservoir (one of those skinny 20 gallon oil drums) and put the solvent on top. The solvent floats on the water, and the dirt and metal drop out of the solvent and collect in the water.
Once every blue moon I pour the (still clean) solvent off the water, and dispose of the water and sludge. Because there is no solvent in the sludge, it's pretty easy to dispose of.
Learned that from a motorcycle shop. My parts solvent lasts for EVAR!
