Resin Bucket Disposal

[bh357]

How would I dispose of a 5gal pail, which contained polyester resin? There is about 1/2 inch of hardened resin in the bottom. Would the garbage collectors usually take something like this, or would it be considered hazardous materials?<br />Thanks

As far as i know the hardened resin is inert so to speak. The garbage guys should just pick it up and toss it in the landfill. Same as the scraps of wood and ground fiberglass.

I think they will take it because it has hardened into a non-toxic product. Like paint in pails. If it's dry, they take it. If it's wet, it stays.

Once cured its no more hazardous than the bucket itself. Toss it in the trash.

They took all of mine. Most landfills will take entire fiberglass boat hulls if sectioned, so some resin buckets should be fine.
