Acrylic thinners are volatile compounds that endanger both environmental safety and community health.

Numerous municipalities provide fixed disposal sites or periodic pickup events for toxic home substances.

Check with your local government or waste management authority to find out when and where you can safely turn in your thinners.

Should you have a minimal residue

you may allow it to air out in a ventilated space free from sparks or open flames

Transfer the liquid into a low, non-reactive vessel made of metal or sturdy glass

and expose it in a locked, inaccessible outdoor area like a shed or deck

where children and pets cannot reach it.

Once the liquid has fully evaporated and only dry residue remains

you can dispose of the container in your regular trash.

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

as this can create dangerous reactions.

Always close lids firmly and affix clear, legible labels indicating the substance inside

Store them out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources until you are ready to dispose of them.

When you’re uncertain about the correct protocol

reach out to your regional hazardous waste coordinator.
