[net.rec.wood] Disposal of Stain, Paint, and Solvent

dave@fluke.UUCP (Dave Van Ess) (12/16/85)

While driving in to work today I heard a story on the radio about chemical
wastes generated in the home. This got me thinking about the way I dispose
of stains, paints, and solvents.

I must admit, the way I get rid of them now is to throw them in the garbage.
(No flames please, it wouldn't be nice to yell at someone who is asking for
help to change his ways) What do you other people out in net land do to
safely dispose of these chemicals? Is there someplace to take them?

Check with a local school or a local woodworker. Everyone that I
talked to was willing to take my toxic waste since the volume was
small.

The effort required to dispose of my waste was very small. I suggest
that all woodworkers do their little bit and dispose of stain, paint,
and other stuff properly.
