pour paint waste liquids down sink or toilet drain?

Its a massive issue, as far as I am concerned. In my experience some people will flush away and let the chemicals enter our water system, which will ultimately enter the food chain. I let my waste paint go hard and dispose. Not super great but I think its better. Solvent paints are a different matter as they will take a long time to harden. I think the council class them as a hazard. But I hardly every use anything solvent based and they are, for the most part, all phased out I think.

Hi, if the paint is only emulsion it is fine. But got of your washing brushes in spirits pour the liquid back into the bottle and dispose of properly. A trick for emulsion painting - if you are going to reuse the equipment, put the brushes in a bag make sure all air is out, twist and tie up. Hope this helps.

Morning, paints & thinners are hazardous items they are to be disposed of at your local licensed facility.
