As business and consumers of waste, we have to get rid of Commercial waste through the proper channels.
How do you get rid of your resin ?
Do you use a liscenced waste carrier, or do you just bin it ?.

Ive been worrying about this. At the moment i bin it in a wheelie bin that at my unit but as its commercial waste I am planning on contacting the local council to see what services they offer. Just did a quick bit of research and found this:
"[Every business in England and Wales has a legal Duty of Care to ensure waste is disposed of responsibly.
If you produce waste you must take all reasonable steps to keep the waste safe. If you give it to someone else you must be sure they are authorised to take it and can transport, process or dispose of it safely and legally. If you break this law you can be fined an unlimited amount.
* You must stop the waste escaping from your control - you must contain it.
* Check that anyone taking your waste has the necessary authority - they should be a Registered Waste Carrier.
* You must describe the waste in writing - complete a Waste Transfer Note which you can get from the NetRegs webs site"[/color]

on the garden or compost heap
-
I feed it to my children.
My grocery money is then spent on beer.
My spare beer money is then spent on resin.
My children glow in the dark but they do save me a fortune ;D

In the bin..

it should tell you on the msds sheet you should have from the supplier
-
Bag it back up and sell it to the competition.
-
i put mine on my brown bin with grass cuttings and other garden rubish.
-
What's it made out of?
-
for anyone planning to go for any kind of standard with their company bsi / iso etc you will need to show how waste is disposed of. If you dont do this it can be classed as a non conformance to your approved standard.
qualified iso auditor me.

So how do you dispose of it?
-
you will need to show that it ha sbeen disposed of by an approved waste managemtn company. You will them be given a waste transfer slip. This would then go into your files for audit purposes.
Contact council or any waste management company

So this is how you dispose of your resin now?

still on my 1st batch my friend. However i could give it to my mate and have him dispose of it in his work. They regenerate their resin beds in the distillery dunno how it works but they do so he told me.

As I only use a kg every couple of weeks or so it goes in the wheely bin.

bin it, theres no othere way, unless i can recycle it, i would,
-
I just mix it into my household rubbish.
Not a huge issue though as I use less than 2 bags of resin a year.
-
since it poses no harm to the environment (apparently) it gets mixed into the bedding soil to aid drainage.
-
Scatter it on the lawn, it helps improve the soil. If you have flower beds or vegetable plots, dig it in - it is no more hazardous than sand and does the same job of breaking up clay soils etc
-
I dry mine out and let the ants play marbles with it! ::)
-
have none of your resin bags got toxic on them, keep a bag fill it up with the old stuff and take to the tip
-
I dump mine into the large waste bins of a commercial job I do.
-
I no longer use resin at the moment, just use the RO to bring the water tds down...
But when I have used resin I just scatter it on the lawn or flower beds, as Ian Lancaster said, it almost certainly will do more good than harm.....However!!
To comply with regulations it is supposed to be disposed of correctly...
Did you also know that the trad window cleaner also has to dispose of the water in his bucket in accordance with the regulations concerning the disposal of waste?
You are NOT ALLOWED to empty your bucket of dirty water down the drain or the gutters in the road.
It pathetic isn't it?
A few years back, my dad had a contractor come in to replace a broken pane of glass in a factory his firm had built...a single, small pane of glass...
He noticed someone watching him, thought nothing of it, but this person then followed him off site all the way back to his depot and watched him throw the broken pane of glass into his skip, or whatever container he used for this kind of thing.
The guy get gs out of his car and gives him a thorough warning with threats of prosecution...
He was told he should have arranged for a skip to have been on site to have safely disposed of the glass and he should not have removed the hazardous waste off site, he was a glazier and did this all day every day, but can you imagine the cost involved if he followed this dozy pillocks advice?
It was only a georgian pane of glass, oh and as it was first floor he should also have arranged for scaffolding or the like to have been in place.
Mind how you go ;)

Of for arguments sake, if you use your own water (trad) and take it back home you are not specifically dealing with someone else's waste, so you do not needs a waste carrier license? However dealing with the water depends on what detergent you use? If you use a commercial detergent then you needs to dispose of it commercially? If you use a household product (fairy) you do not, since you dont need to in your own home?
Now, if you used a custies water - then you do need a waste carriers license, because it nots yours?
So idealy that window installer should have left it on site, as it was not his to take away..lol
Yes very stupid, and very confusing.. Im all for regulations to help the environment and H&S but somethings are just plain stupid, and in reality if we were all to follow them to a T, half the population would be out of a job since it costs too much to put them into practise and im sure regular custies would not pay for disposal charges!

my problem is not getting out of my 10 inch cannister it is getting it back in without dropping it all over the worktops etc. ;D
-
