How to Dispose of Rubbing Alcohol?

Check the product label and local hazardous waste rules first

Keep rubbing alcohol away from heat, flames, and sparks

Do not pour large amounts down the drain unless local regulations allow it

For small amounts, let it evaporate only if local rules permit and the area is well ventilated

Mix small leftover amounts with an absorbent material like cat litter or paper towels before disposal if allowed locally

Seal the waste in a container or bag before placing it in the trash if permitted

Take larger amounts to a household hazardous waste collection site

Do not mix rubbing alcohol with bleach, ammonia, or other chemicals

Store any remaining alcohol in its original container with the label intact until disposal

Contact your local waste authority or recycling center for specific instructions
