2. Take it to a Hazardous Waste Facility
Find a hazardous waste facility near you that accepts gun cleaning solvents and oils. These facilities have the proper equipment and knowledge to handle and dispose of hazardous materials safely.
3. Dispose of in a Printed Waste Container
If you have a small amount of gun cleaning solvents or oils, you can dispose of them in a certified printed waste container. These containers are specifically designed to safely collect hazardous materials.
4. Donate to a Shooting Range or Gun Shop
Some shooting ranges or gun shops accept used gun cleaning solvents and oils for recycling or proper disposal. Contact local ranges or shops to see if they have a collection program.
