Homebrew PCBs

Guys,

I have just created a table to detail the locations of places for
etchant disposal. Please fill it in appropriately (if you feel like it)

Hopefully this will be a good resource to help answer those "where do
I take it when I'm done?" questions

Anthony

I don't have a specific location/number but most municipalities in 
the US have some sort of a transfer station or other solid waste 
facillity where you can take hazardous household chemicals.  Also, in 
our area (King County, Wa), there are frequent events (once every 
couple of months) where you can dispose of this kind of stuff for 
free.

I just let my spent etchant sit in an open container and evaporate.  
Then i take the solid residue to one of the above places along with 
paint, oil, ...

Yes, but the idea was that each area where someone has dealt with this
could have a number to call, save the hunting for hazardous waste
disposal

Hehehe, I was recycling mine with electrolysis, but this last time I got
a thick sludge and it didn't etch well, I have been wanting to switch to
CuCl so this seems to be a good time for it. Also I am moving house so I
will dispose of the old before I move and make the new when I get there.
