Default Disposing Of Oily Rags?

I realize there are many different opinions on this subject....

I have a small workshop with regular rags - motor oil and oil finishes
of various sorts.

I have been drying rags, and then throwing them in an open trash can,
but I probably should do more.

If I use a covered can should I use water, or just keep it airtight?

Thank you in advance.

The best thing for oil contaminated rags or paper is a special can made
for the purpose. Most industrial suppliers sell them and I believe many
industrial work safety regs require them. ^_^
