Posted By Karen Todd Francis, It is a herbicide. I have found reference to it in a document called "The Herbicide Handbook: Guidance on the use of herbicides on nature conservation sites". I have e-mailed this document to you and page 4/33 gives details of the manufacturer/distributor. Regards, Karen

Posted By Paul Leadbetter Francis I can find only one English language reference to this - it appears to be a pesticide or herbicide so dispose as special waste. Paul

Posted By peter gotch Francis, In case previous responses haven't solved your problem contact details for supplier as follows: Certis (formerly Hortichem) Horticultural chemicals
Telephone and fax Tel: (01980) 676500 Fax: (01980) 626555
Address 1B Mills Way Boscombe Down Business Pk Amesbury Wilts SP4 7RX Map Amesbury, Wiltshire On the other hand there is of course a long history of disposing chemicals in Brum the old fashioned way - when I was at Uni they said that "you don't have to be Christ to walk across the canal at Selly Oak" - through to more recent scandals with eg disposal of asbestos in school playgrounds, the employment of children to do asbestos stripping. Just yet more reassurance (a cryptic message that most readers will not understand!) Regards, Peter

Posted By Tony Overbury Your local civic amenity site may well be able to assist with the disposal (my local site takes paints, gas cylinders and other Special Wastes). If you don't get anywhere following up the responses to your post please email me. Tony

Posted By Francis MSc MIOSH RSP Thanks to all the repondants- its proved once more how invaluable this site can be for quick advice (even if I am a bit biased) (Peter, come down to Birmingham- you will hardly recognise it as it has been enormously spruced up)
