The best way I presume of disposing the solder paste is by throwing the
paste into the wave solder bath. This method was suggested in one of the
reputed magazines, which I donot remember now.

Subject:  [TN] Solder paste disposal




Hi
Can anyone offer advice on the disposal (environmentally friendly) of the
empty solder paste tubes?
Does anyone clean the empty tube of solder paste residue leaving just
the disposal of the plastic? If you do, how do you do it safely? Do you
then rely on evaporation to recover the solids?
What advice can anyone offer on disposal of the solder paste solids?


Also how is the industry handling the disposal of Nickel - cadmium
batteries?

Any info on the above would be appreciated.
Thanks - Garry Beaumont
