Leftover acrylic thinners should never be poured down the drain
disposed of outdoors
or placed in standard curbside bins.
These chemicals are flammable and can be harmful to the environment and public health.
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.
Contact your city’s environmental services department to locate approved disposal times and venues.
If your remaining quantity is negligible
you may allow it to air out in a ventilated space free from sparks or open flames
Transfer the liquid into a low, non-reactive vessel made of metal or sturdy glass
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.
Once the liquid has fully evaporated and only dry residue remains
you may discard the empty vessel with standard household waste.
Always wear gloves and work in a well ventilated area when handling thinners.
Do not combine acrylic thinner with any other industrial cleaners or reactive agents
since unpredictable and hazardous chemical reactions may occur.
Always close lids firmly and affix clear, legible labels indicating the substance inside
Store them out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources until you are ready to dispose of them.
When you’re uncertain about the correct protocol
contact your local waste disposal service for guidance.
