Proper Ways to Get Rid of Excess Acrylic Solvent

Never release unused acrylic thinner into plumbing systems

dumped on the ground

or thrown in the regular trash.

This substance is highly combustible and poses serious risks to ecosystems and human well-being.

Your best option is to deliver them to an approved hazardous material drop-off center

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 you have only a small amount left

you can safely let it dissipate in an airflow-rich zone, far from heat or flame sources

Transfer the liquid into a low, non-reactive vessel made of metal or sturdy glass

and leave it uncovered in a secure outdoor space, such as a garage or patio

that is completely out of reach of curious animals and young ones.

After all solvent has dissipated and only a dry film is left

you can dispose of the container in your regular trash.

Use nitrile gloves and work only in spaces with strong ventilation when dealing with this substance.

Never mix acrylic thinners with other chemicals like paint strippers or solvents

because it may trigger toxic fumes or explosive interactions.

Always close lids firmly and affix clear, legible labels indicating the substance inside
