    I recommend these to my customers:

    When I was running the demo room at AIT, there was a lot of wasted ink so I used to store it all in fuel cans (5 or 6 of the 5l ones you get from a petrol station) and then every year or so speak to a local company that disposes of screen inks/oil/paints and just drop them £20 to empty into their drums of waste. Seems to be the cheapest and easiest way.

    I have a local guy, I found him when he was collecting used engine oil from the lawn mower place next door to my unit. He gave me a free metal barrel that holds about 25 liters. I fill it up and call him, he hands over another empty barrel and takes the full one away. Costs me £12…. Ive had this barrel about 6 months and its not even half full yet…

    So look online for your local waste oil peeps….

    Hope this helps
