Fully cured CA is inert and can be disposed of in landfill. Same as cured epoxies, polyurethanes and aliphatic and PVA glues.

Joel, Good idea on the wax paper. Now as far as disposal, I've never been so careless or sloppy to actually have it drip through. Well, maybe once - but it wasn't my fault. <G> I wouldn't think that a fully cured CA, epoxy, wood glue, etc. would be considered hazardous material and require special disposal. That said, I've no doubt that CA and a zillion other things we are allowed to place in landfills shouldn't be there. Whatcha gonna do?? WRM William, I recommend putting wax paper down first, then multi-layers of newspapers to catch the drops. If it does soak through the papers the wax paper will stop the liquid. Now, disposing of the whole mess is a question . Any of this combination a potential problem in the landfill? The amount is not large, but it is a question for me as to the potency of what is involved. I personally don't have any severe reaction except a smarting nose and watery eyes, but what about the part that goes into the trash?
