If it had stabil in the tank it might be ok, as long as it smells decent still (no that turpintine smell). Your mower probably wouldn't complain much, well if it is a 2-stroke mower. If no stabil or bad smell I would take it to that facility mentioned above.

Pour the gas into another container. Go get fresh and start up the motor. If it runs well, add a little back at a time and burn it up, might be much easier than the hazardous waste route. Can't tell you how many motors I've run on old gas. The just seem to have a little less pop. And if it had Stabil, it'll be just fine.
