How do you dispose of your cadmium and lead-laden spent brush cleaner in a manner that is safe to the environment?
Karin,

I haven't come to that problem yet since I reconstitute my turps after the settling process from a large container. Eventually the sludge will be high enough where it will have to be contained in a leak proof vehicle, encased in cement and driven over to Hanford Nuclear Waste Disposal site in the state of Washington. Just kidding Karin, it will be disposed locally for hazardous materials. It certainly is the responsibility of artists that choose hazardous materials in their work to be environmental aware!..L
