We recently experienced a leak of Tyfoxit which was absorbed in granules. There are three 1/4 full standard bin bags with the absorbent waste in them. How should this be disposed of?

I guess I've answered my own question. Looking at guidance it states small spillages can be disposed of as domestic waste. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

According to this SDS, it should be sent for incineration: http://www.epsltd.co.uk/tyfoxit_pds.pdf

Yeah, I did notice that. It also does say smaller quantities can be disposed of as domestic waste. The quantity I have suggests domestic waste.
