Tips And Advices - Dispose of Degreaser Solvent

Use the degreaser solvent up entirely if possible. Buy small quantities of anything deemed a hazardous material and try and use the product up completely.

Read the label regarding the proper storage and disposal of the degreaser solvent. Always follow manufacturer's directions not only for use but afterwards as well. Many degreaser solvents can be stored for a certain length of time, but need to be put out of reach of children and animals.

Ask about household hazardous roundups in your area. Many local waste companies offer this service once or twice a year. You can also contact other refuse companies found in the phone book for more options.

Leave the degreaser solvent in its original packaging and seal the container tightly. This will keep the hazardous material from contaminating anything else and always leave labels in tact, even when throwing an empty container away.

Check with neighbors and friends to see if they have any use for any extra degreaser solvent that you may have, instead of disposing of the unused portion.
