Leftover acrylic thinners should never be poured down the drain
dumped on the ground
or placed in standard curbside bins.
Acrylic thinners are volatile compounds that endanger both environmental safety and community health.
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.
Check with your local government or site (http://dodo00.dothome.co.kr) waste management authority to find out when and where you can safely turn in your thinners.
If your remaining quantity is negligible
you can safely let it dissipate in an airflow-rich zone, far from heat or flame sources
Pour the thinner into a shallow metal or glass container
and expose it in a locked, inaccessible outdoor area like a shed or deck
that is completely out of reach of curious animals and young ones.
Once the liquid has fully evaporated and only dry residue remains
the container may then be placed in your normal recycling or trash bin.
Use nitrile gloves and work only in spaces with strong ventilation when dealing with this substance.
Avoid blending this solvent with paint removers, degreasers, or other solvents
because it may trigger toxic fumes or explosive interactions.
Keep all containers tightly sealed and labeled clearly with their contents
Keep containers in a cool, shaded location, far from radiators, stoves, or heaters.
If you lack clarity on disposal procedures
contact your local waste disposal service for guidance.
Responsible disposal protects your community and the environment.
