Disposing of Bottles That Had 100 mg/ml Nicotine in them

[amoret]

I'm wondering what would be the best/safest way to dispose of 125 ml bottles that had 100 mg/ml nic in them. When I had a pesticide operators license years ago it was always triple rinse and then garbage, but now your not supposed to put anything into the sewer system.

Yes, I know that I could keep them, and I tried that last time, but MFS did such a thorough job of labeling them that I finally gave up. And I don't really have another good use for them. I'm thinking that double bagged in the trash should work, but then I'm back to whether they should be rinsed first.

I know that I'm probably over thinking this, but what do other people do? Or would you just keep them?

It's just 100mg. Rinse and recycle...

If they're glass, I wash, rinse, and keep them.

If they're plastic, triple rinse and trash.

What's left is probably less than I'd put in a 30ml bottle of DIY.

What's the concern again?

eta: Ha, for that matter... since I pre-mix PG/VG/Nic base, I'd do that in the nic bottle first, if I felt there was enough stuck to the walls to salvage.

Cheap? Moi?

Dag nabbit, why didn't I think of that? Do the first or even second rinse of the nic bottle with the PG that's going in my mixture anyway! You can bet I'll be doing this next time. I'm not cheap, but I do believe in "waste not, want not!"

Thrifty, Penny Wise, Frugal. Ah... Fruuugality. Yeah, that's the ticket.

if they are glass, the labels WILL come off with a good soak in very hot water. If plastic, rinse a few times and put in glass recycling or trash.

Another way to get most of it is after you empty it,put the cap on and let it sit upside down for a day.Everything will run down to the cap,just hold it over another container and pull the cap,you'll get 99% of your nic out of the bottle like that haha.

add some VG to them , swish them around and use the now slightly nicced VG

Anyone with extra bottles they can't use, they can send them to me. Happy to take them off their hands.

Yeah, I think rinse is OK...it'll dilute to negligible.
Or maybe you'll help a fish quit the ciggies!
