Electro-Plating Chemicals

[Poobah]

Note sure if this is the right place for this, but thought some of you may be experienced electro-platers so may have an idea.

I have the following chemicals from my old Gateros zinc/nickel electro-plating kit. They're fairly old now, haven't been kept in ideal conditions, and have done a fair bit of work so I suspect in need of renewal, therefore I'm wondering how you go about disposing of this type of stuff.

- Electrolyte
- Passivate
- Alkaline cleaner
- Acid pickle

We're only taking about a bucket of each so not industrial quantities, hence why I'm struggling to know what to do with them. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Your local council may have a waste disposal point for such items or could possibly advise who offers such a service.

I have lots stored that one day will need disposing of. I plan to evaporate then down to solids and then hand them into my local dump, I recon they will accept them dry easier than 4 x 10l plastic jerry cans.
