[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 518934, member: 4386"] If I needed to dispose of it, I would probably pour it on the ground in a remote place 9even in the garden away from plants), and pour a bucket of water over it, and toss some soil on top. It does not contain anything that would cause harm to anything if a small quantity is disposed of that way, and I tend to dispose of things in this manner if they are pretty harmless once treated this way. It is only ammonium bifluoride, sulphuric acid and hydrogen fluoride, all of which will dilute and dissociate with water. Any risk is limited to humans getting it on themselves - a small amount of fluorine in the soil is not going to harm wildlife or plants. "The cationic surfactant contained in this product is expected to be rapidly removed from effluents by absorption onto suspended particles and by interaction with the large excess of anionic surfactants commonly present in effluents. In the absence of the above factors, biodegradation will still occur reasonably rapidly at low concentrations", so to speak... It can be greatly diluted with water and poured down your drain (because of the small volume) - I would just be a bit wary of my plumbing. [/QUOTE]
