Section 13. Disposal considerations
The generation of waste should be avoided or minimized wherever possible. Disposal
of this product, solutions and any by-products should at all times comply with the
requirements of environmental protection and waste disposal legislation and any
regional local authority requirements. Dispose of surplus and non-recyclable products
via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Waste should not be disposed of untreated to
the sewer unless fully compliant with the requirements of all authorities with jurisdiction.
Waste packaging should be recycled. This material and its container must be disposed
of in a safe way. Care should be taken when handling emptied containers that have not
been cleaned or rinsed out. Empty containers or liners may retain some product
residues. Vapor from product residues may create a highly flammable or explosive
atmosphere inside the container. Do not cut, weld or grind used containers unless they
have been cleaned thoroughly internally. Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff
and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers.
