How to dispose of old Ronseal fence protector?

Randomface74 · 23 May 2018 at 19:49

I've got a few half-full tubs of Ronseal in my garage that I want to get rid of. I don't want to use it because it's the wrong color. Neighbours don't use that color either.

The tub says take it to a local disposal place, but none of them accept it so that won't work.

Would regular paint hardener stuff work? or is there something else that would harden it? or any other suggestions for how to get rid of this stuff?

If there are any allotments nearby, take it there. They'll use it to preserve their raised beds and won't be too fussy over the colour.

Surprised the local disposal centre won't take it, Freecycle is a good shout though, or the allotment idea is a great one.

Good shout, there are allotments nearby.

Would be in the general waste bin here.

That's insane. Basically means there's no safe disposal available, so people will just pour it down drains or chuck it in general waste.

I'd ring the council and ask them where to dispose of it properly, especially if somebody at the tip said they wouldn't take it.

Wife asked the bin man how to dispose of a used can of paint, he told her to chuck it in the general waste as the local tip did not take it!

Paint old fence panel until it's all used up.
Take to tip.

Conceal the tub in a binbag and stick it in your wheelie bin if your local tip wont take it.
