Excess acrylic thinner must never be rinsed into sewers

disposed of outdoors

or thrown in the regular trash.

This substance is highly combustible and poses serious risks to ecosystems and human well-being.

The most secure disposal method involves utilizing a municipal hazardous waste facility

Numerous municipalities provide fixed disposal sites or periodic pickup events for toxic home substances.

Check with your local government or waste management authority to find out when and where you can safely turn in your thinners.

If you have only a small amount left

you can safely let it dissipate in an airflow-rich zone, far from heat or flame sources

Pour the thinner into a shallow metal or glass container

and place it openly in a contained, child- and pet-proof area such as a porch or fenced yard

where children and pets cannot reach it.

After all solvent has dissipated and only a dry film is left

you may discard the empty vessel with standard household waste.

Use nitrile gloves and work only in spaces with strong ventilation when dealing with this substance.

Do not combine acrylic thinner with any other industrial cleaners or reactive agents

as this can create dangerous reactions.

Ensure every jar or bottle is securely capped and plainly marked with its identity

Keep containers in a cool, shaded location, far from radiators, stoves, or site (wiki.linuxmce.org) heaters.

If you are unsure about your options

contact your local waste disposal service for guidance.

Responsible disposal protects your community and the environment.
