Bundle Waste
Separate filament offcuts from uncured resin, wash solvents and contaminated consumables. Decide the disposal route from the actual material and receiver's acceptance, not from the printer type alone.
Information to gather
- Label containers with the resin or filament grade and retain safety data sheets.
- Ask a specialist about resin-contaminated solvent, wipes and supports before mixing them.
- Confirm a receiver for clean failed prints; do not assume PLA is accepted in organics.
What to check before deciding
Curing a resin or evaporating a solvent is not a general permission to put the residue in a bin. Record what each receiver accepts and keep liquid waste out of a routine recycling collection.
Victorian industrial waste must be classified and sent to a lawful receiving place. See EPA Victoria - Understand your waste obligations and duties.
