From: Monona Rossol As I understand the EPA rules, we can't treat regulated waste without a license to do so. But there is a demo showing how to defloculate acrylic artists paint waste with aluminum sulfate and lime, filter, throw the water down the drain without testing, and dispose of the rest as solid waste. Art schools and businesses are doing this. The demo is at: http://www.justpaint.org/removing-water-based-paint-solids-from-rinse-water/ So va den? Any wisdom on this?
