What is the correct procedure for disposal of powder coatings?
The rules and regulations for powder waste disposal vary across states and regional councils. In many instances, powder coating is suitable for land fill, however it is important to contact Local Council and/or Environmental Protection Agency offices to clarify local requirements for waste disposal. As a rule, ensuring waste powder is placed in securely sealed packs with no leaks is important to limit nuisance dust. This will ensure that powder is not emitted to the atmosphere when loaded to the waste truck on your premises and hence you will avoid subsequent complaints from neighbours.
