Tenison, I believe I was the respondent to your original post, maybe the other folks thought one reply was adequate. To reiterate, they are considered hazardous waste by state and federal regulatory agencies, you do not want to get caught tossing these in the trash. The fines are swift and substantial, and would bring about a detailed inspection of your entire facility and processes on all fronts. If they're in a bad mood, they just might close you down until they feel comfortable with your compliance. If you can get Alpha to take them with your paste containers, that should be a no-brainer. Even if you have to pay to have them properly disposed of, it's a lot cheaper than a citation in the long run. Elevate it above the supervisor until you get someone to pay attention to the serious potential of a violation. It only takes one disgruntled employee with an anonymous complaint to have inspectors knocking on the door....
