Does anyone know of the correct way to get rid of used DI resin?
Can it just be put out with normal household waste?
The council rubbish tip wont take it as it is classified as trade waste.
What do you do with yours?

Oh and dose anybody know when it will stop raining??

its made from a kind of polystyrene so its not toxic or hazardous
i have the same problem >:(buckets of it in the shed,and i have asked this question before as well
i think my first step will be to dry the stuff out and then decide
if its polystyrene/styrene maybe it can be burned

I just throw mine out on the garden...are you sure it is made of a kind of polystyrene? It's treated with acid, would have thought it would have dissolved??

I'll top up some of the pots, sprinkle it around like its a manure!

Quite how health & safety say it should be disposed of I've no idea.

According to them, your trad bucket of water is not allowed to be thrown down the nearest drain in the street, let alone be chucked out on the nearest road or pavement! Cos that is considered industrial waste too!!!

Utterly potty.

I only want to know what i am suppose to do with it.

Ionics told me that it is recyclable plastic beads and your council should take it. Might be just the type that Ionics uses though.........

Melt it with a blow lamp and cast it into easily manageable blocks and dispose of in rubbish. Or build a house with it.

Resin can be "recharged" but it uses some very dangerous chemical to do so and so not good for the average WFPer....

Here is something to look into.....

Why have the bother of refilling it when one can be done for you and delivered straight to you with the other one collected and then recycled.......?
A very good idea but for some it would be very impraticale for the logistic reasons of delivery and collection.....
