Question 2

2. How do you dispose of white spirit?

Accepted Answer

White spirit should never be poured down drains, sinks, or onto the ground, as it can contaminate water sources and harm the environment. Dispose of it as hazardous waste through a licensed waste disposal facility or your local authority’s household recycling centre. Many sites like these have specific drop-off points for solvents and flammable liquids.
