“[Apivar] should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements”.

Which are what, precisely?

US EPA instructions say ‘wrap used strips in newspaper and place in the trash’ … with the container going to ‘sanitary landfill’ or incineration. In the UK we’re supposed to ask, and the implication is that local requirements might vary. Surely far better to have some logical and clear instructions?

What do I do? I wrap them in a paper and put them in the household waste for landfill or incineration. Apivar rapidly degrades in soil, and they should be degraded well before they leach into any groundwater.
