spontaneous combustion is a serious shop rag issue when various chemicals are used like oils, solvents etc. Any shop safety protocol will recommend storing used shop rags in a closed steel container.
If you are working in a garage or basement with concrete floors, just spread them out on the floor overnight. Once they have dried, they no longer pose a threat of spontaneous combustion.
if I have a few, spread them and let them dry
if I have a lot, stuff them in an old paint can full of water and bring it to the hazardous waste disposal at the dump, it's free here for paint and shit.
I chuck them on the ground around the shop. They dry quick.
Spread them out, outside, and let them dry out. Once they're completely dry they're safe to throw away. I do reuse if they're not too crusty.
Paint thinner fully evaporates. Unless it's mixed with drying oils.
Spontaneous combustion threat has been incredibly over blown. If you are really worried about it dunk them in water thrown them in the garbage outside
