Have some leftover resin and not sure what to do with it?  
You may not be aware, but there's a right way ( and a wrong way ) to dispose of ArtResin.

IMPORTANT: Never pour ArtResin down the drain!  It can plug your drains and cause damage to your plumbing.  

Instead, follow these simple steps .... 

1) For Leftover Resin In Your Mixing Container:
- Ensure your work surface is covered with a large plastic cover - this could be a vinyl shower curtain, large silicon mat, a garbage bag, or even a big piece of parchment paper.
- Tip your plastic mixing container upside down on your plastic covered work surface.  The resin will pool out so ensure your protective plastic covering is large enough to accommodate the spread.
- Allow it to dry overnight
- The next day, when the resin has cured, you can peel it right out of the mixing container.  
- Cured resin is entirely harmless and inert, so go ahead and toss it out with your regular trash.
- BONUS ... this method allows you to re-use the mixing container again and again!

2) For Leftover Resin In Your Resin And Hardener Bottles:
- For equal amounts of resin and hardener, unscrew the caps, let one bottle sit on top and drain into the other bottle
- Mix them up and allow them to cure, then dispose of the bottle in your regular trash.
- Alternatively,  drain them into a separate plastic container, follow step #1, and throw the empty bottles into the recycling bin.
- If you can't cure it and you don't want to keep it, do not throw it in your trash.  You'll need to take the liquids to a waste collection centre that accepts hazardous materials ( check with your local region ).

3) For Empty Resin And Hardener Bottles: 
- Toss out with your recyclables.
