How to Solidify

Source: Missouri Household Hazardous Waste Telephone Advice Manual, April 1994, Household Hazardous Waste Project

Never put liquid wastes into the trash or down the drain unless instructed to do so by local waste officials. Improperly disposed of liquid wastes can contaminate our water resources and the environment. The best way to manage most liquid products is to use them up or store them for later use. However, if approved by local solid waste and air quality officials, the following solidification procedure may be used for small quantities of some products.

A word of caution: This management option may cause harm to human health and the environment if the described procedures are not followed carefully.
