Gentian Violet, bad ideas, and responsible material handling

[Jon Kelly]

Hello Austin!

Hope everyone is doing well and the weather is nice; the UK is, generally speaking, cold and wet.

So the big question first - does anyone know how to dispose of a 1% gentian violet 99% water solution? responsibly?

To explain, I went head first into a crazy idea for a costume which involves dyeing myself purple. This is a common practice in Canadian engineering schools, I understand how to do it safely for myself. I just need to know how to handle it environment wise after dilution.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Step one -- MSDS :

Step two -- Any local regs on Gentian Violet in the UK/London area?

Nope.  No special disposal procedures are in the Health and Safety regs.

So, basically -- get it into an inert state ( it already is ), dispose of it by absorbing it into a neutral material ( rags, et al ) and then throwing it away.  It's not considered an environmental hazard ... but good GOLLY does it stain everything in sight.

Thanks :D I found a few msds but they didn't have anything other than 'dispose of according to regulation'

I'll post pictures when I blue myself... i mean purple. XD
