Dear Cindi,
I would say absolutely not in the regular garbage. I am hoping in your =
tonw. that they are as environmentally consious as the Danes are (or at =
least gvien the opportunity to be). It is not permitted to put anything =
but regular household trash in the regular trash can that is picked up =
by the town service. We have a dump where there are separate containers =
for just about everything! It is distressing to see how much garbage=20
and what variety we make!! But there is a place for paint, and that is =
where we are told to deliver old glaze too. There are also bins for =
toxics and "unknown". Dried is easier to transport and does not risk =
any spilling accidents on the site. I would check with your local =
municipality and
find the safe and responsible way to throw out glazes and glaze =
materials in your town. It is very good you ask about this
and hopefully your town has a responsible system for disregarding these =
materials. People who throw stuff away in the garbage=20
think it is gone, but it could easily come right back to us if not =
properly disposed of. Thanks for doing the right thing.
Best regards,
Alisa in Denmark

One way to get rid of glazes is to put them into a bisk pot, allow them to
dry out and, fire them to their maturity, or nearly. They are then a glass
and easily disposed of.

I have a number of 5-gallon buckets labeled "Washbucket #1, 2, 3 ,etc", the
end product of washing hands and tools while glazing. (No running water,
but it works out ok). Test tiles usuallly are some shade of olive, with
unpleasant specks!, so I have been thinking about making a press mold of a
paving stone, or garden tile, with areas recessed deeply enough to hold
quite a lot of glaze. I LOVE finding a use for anything and everything.
Has anyone done something like this? I've got some pugged clay someone gave
me with lots of grog in it...that should work fine.
