Litotes 63 #1 Posted August 25, 2020 Is there anywhere you can get rid of old paint that isn't even worth passing onto charities for work? Still liquid, but no good... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

metalman 21 #4 Posted August 26, 2020 I took some to Shirecliff tip the other week and was told to just put it in general waste, which surprised me a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It will probably all get burnt in the incinerator like most general waste so not much of a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Litotes 63 #8 Posted September 4, 2020 Went to the tip - "just throw it in with the general waste". God know what it is doing to the groundwater... Nice to know our Vile-ola money is being used well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Why as it will just get burnt as that's what the incinerator does to most general waste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Where does it say that on their website? https://www.veolia.co.uk/sheffield/hwrc-what-happens-waste And isn't that even worse? All those pollutant and carcinogens going up the chimney??? And what about the fly ash left behind - what do they do with that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
