  • most of the sites are household waist sites and do not take trade waist

    but reading one part as what / whatnot to do with them it says not tp put chemicals down the loo or sink then goes on to say rinse out the container three times  before disposal ?

    • PRO

      Triple rinisng of containers is 'standard practice' and any arising should be sprayed out or disposed off onto suitable land not intended to bear vegetation etc

  • PRO Supplier

    Code of Practice: "Containers for ready-to-use formulations or products not applied as a solution are normally not rinsed after emptying"

    If its not on the label however - triple rinse and add washings to spray tank for safe disposal.

    FYI: Roundup ProActive label stipulates triple rinse and disposal of the tub via household recycling

  • joe public will tip the rinsing's down the sink or drain and a lot of the ready mixed little hand sprayers you get from DIY stores are sealed

    • PRO

      Another reason why such products should be banned from the DIY market.
