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.
