    I have a house with a billion old cans of paint aerosols oils and all that sort of stuff the father in law collected over the years. It’s a bit of a space issue under the sink is full, shed is full. Brake fluid and all sorts. What do you do with them?

    Jaysis. I’d offer them to you but I’d be worried you’d hurt yourself.😀

    If any of them are still useable maybe a local mens shed might be glad of them, failing that offer them for free or a small fee (to discourage timewasters) on Adverts.ie.

    Your council recycling centre will take them but will charge you, which is ludicrous as this sort of stuff is exactly what should be taken in for free.

    I was hoping I could just throw them in a bin. It’s just a hundred bottles of nearly empty brake fluid drain unblocker carpet glue white spirits. Crap I can’t throw down the sink.
    Is there a recycling centre or something for this? Can it go in a skip.

    Just seen post above perfect any idea on cost.

    According to the website of my local recycling centre (Coolmine) you can bring "household hazardous waste (paint, herbicides, household cleaners etc.)". If that's all you're bringing there the charge is €4. Don't know if some of the stuff you have might be considered more industrial though.

    4 euro no matter how much I bring?
    I suppose I could pour it all in one bottle and make something that could power space travel.

    Seems to be.

    Or alternatively you might end up launching a chemical attack on your neighbourhood. Having seen first hand the effects of the contents of two mislabelled bottles being mixed in a chemistry class many years ago, personally I wouldn't be mixing anything together.
