We have a French polisher here in the museum so I dispose of our stuff via him (he also gets acetone in bulk, which is useful) as he does have a specialised waste disposal system. You might ask any local furniture restorers if they do likewise and slip them a fiver or something to take the stuff off your hands.

Subject: [SHCG-LIST] Disposal of acetone

Hello everyone

I will soon be using paraloid and acetone in marking some museum objects for the first time and I am not entirely sure what to do with any leftovers...

The CoSHH guidelines say it should not be disposed of by normal means, so I was just wondering what other museums have done? The local council does not have a provision for hazardous or special waste – so I can’t go through them.

Any hints or tips?

Thanks!

Arran
