Bundle Waste
Build an art-studio waste list around the processes in use: painting, solvent cleaning, sculpture, textiles or printing. Keep chemical residues separate from clean offcuts until the disposal route is established.
Information to gather
- Retain product labels and safety data sheets for paints, resins and solvents.
- Ask the collector to assess liquid residues and contaminated rags as distinct streams.
- Offer clean reusable offcuts to other users only where suitable and agreed.
What to check before deciding
Do not assume a small quantity of commercial paint or solvent is safe to dry and bin. Shared studios should agree labelling, access and collection responsibilities so one tenant cannot contaminate another's material.
Victorian industrial waste must be classified and sent to a lawful receiving place. See EPA Victoria - Understand your waste obligations and duties.
