Good for you for asking. Here in the States it is hazardous material, lead
you know. We have an arrangement with a local solder supplier that will
recycle dross for us. They actually pay us for the reclaimed materials less
a little handling fee.

Subject: [TN] dross disposal


Hi all,

Got a little questions for the circuit boards assembly shop.  How do you
dispose of the dross?  Is there any safety hazard with this stuff?  

We stopped assembling boards on a wave years ago but we have a whole
crate of residues sitting in the corner of the shop gathering dust.  We want
to dispose of that correctly.
