Wash it down the main drain. It flows nicely with lots of water.

Its only plastic beads anyway. It looks funny, but I think its ok, its not toxic or anything. Anyway when you clear out the Di the stuff has to go somewhere in my case its on the ground near the drain so that's where it happy going, just flush it well.
I did try putting it on the garden, but is doesnt rot down.  (That was just joking, ok?)

Don't let the water board see you putting it down the drain, you could be fined big money.

You think it's okay? It's chemicals that are harmful to the environment. Check your resin bag. It's got it written all over the bag. Not toxic? Lol.  :-X  :(

With all the minerals in it , it could be a good for growing plants. How about conducting an experiment and planting some seeds in a pot of it. Dai

I don't read the bag. Why bother? It's full of lies anyway, just more health and safety nonsense. Dont talk about eco-friendly window cleaning then!  Pah!
