EPA feels differently. I used to do a lot of Hazmat. New and used stuff. If 20 oz bottles can go in the office trash, then I am buying stock in a company that makes 20 oz bottles. Every company that now collects 50 gallon drums of used chemicals and pays a lot for Hazmat disposal would buy 20 oz bottles, collect in them, and "Look, we can just throw these in the waste can!"
Earlier you also said that 3 oz bottles are so small they can be thrown in the trash. Take a 3 oz bottle of mercury to the EPA and ask "Can I just throw this in the trash?" See what they say.
And a trained chemist cannot make TATP in the lav in 20 minutes. Period. The bragging British punks basis of the Water Ban is a lie. See sig below for the full story.
