Proper Disposal of Hornaday's One Shot Solution

[JimGun]

I am considering purchasing a Hornaday Sonic Cleaner. In reading about the process, the One Shot chemical they recommend seems pretty potent. If anyone uses this cleaner, what is the proper way to dispose of the cleaning solution after it has served it purpose?

Here's the link to Hornady's MSDS in which you will find the sonic case cleaner.

I notice you're in Houston, some of their recycle centers take just about anything.

Dispose of in accordance with federal & provincial hazardous waste laws.

Grilling a nice steak or a fine set of ribs on the bbq is enough for you to be flagged in Cal. state.

Yep. I suspect you responded to my post before I edited out the wrong MSDS that I posted.

It depends upon the municipality. The dilute Hornady chemical isn’t nearly as much concern for water treatment systems as the lead (and primer mercury in some cases). Some municipalities allow it down the toilet, some down the sink, some need to be evaporated and landfilled as precipitated dust/powder, some need to be hazardous dumps... it all depends on the capabilities of your wastewater treatment or landfill facilities. A few phone calls gets you there.

Down the drain. Period.

The EPA guidelines for disposing of water contaminated with lead dust is to dispose of it down the toilet. Their logic is that the lead could be caught up in a drain trap so they say not to put it down the drain. Both go to the same place so the issue is the trap.

As far as what’s best, I really don’t care but it’s what we were taugh in the lead safety class.

Guys

How much lead to you think is left on a spent piece of brass?

5 pounds? 10 pounds?

If you gave up fishing and had a 2 ounce fishing sinker would you get yourself all tied up in knots with worry just throwing it in the trash?

What’s ironic is people worry about pouring some lead down the drain and thousands of fishermen loose lead weights every day in local drinking water reservoirs.

I cast a lot of bullets, smelt a bunch of tire weights, and don’t wear any gloves or respirator ever. Had to get blood work for insurance the other day and my lead levels are low. I assumed they would be high, but guess not. The casting manual I use says not to do it in the House. Not for health reasons, but because you may piss your wife off. I really can’t imagine the dust off a tumbler or out of the water causing any issues.
