I always dumped the ethanol down the drain. I never recycled it because it takes almost 3 times more time that recycling xylene (3 times the cost) and the recycled alcohol is seldom of good quality.
When I stopped using xylene I had no more use (and exposure) when recycling.

Hello to all in histoland.  Is there anyone putting alcohol into a waste drum like for xylene.  We have a company that takes away our xylene.  Now the safety people are suggesting that we treat the alcohol the same way.  We have always poured the alcohol down the drain.  It seems very expensive.  Your help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
