We classify it the same as any other solder contaminated materials, such as gloves, hand wipes, paper towels or other materials that come into contact with solder paste. Depending on your state's classification of waste steams, it could be generalized under Contaminated Clean Up Materials, and also include anything contaminated by isopropanol, SMT adhesives or other such process chemicals. Review with your state agencies if they provide consulting services without possible threat of citation. Proper classification of your waste stream is just as critical as proper handling and disposal of it. If the root of your question is can you toss them in the trash, the answer is no.
