I saw something on tv this morning about mixing it with seeds then letting it set and using it as bird feeder.. might be more technical than that but I was only half watching it!

 

Other than that, in the past i've usually put it in an old plastic drinks bottle with the lid sealed and thrown it in the bin.

This is what I do too. It's unlikely to set for the bird-feeding idea. Has anyone got a more environmentally friendly solution?

I usually put ours in a pop bottle and put it in the bin.

NEVER pour it down the sink or toilet, if it doesnt block it up straight away, it WILL eventually

 

i always pour it into old jars and put the lid on then chuck it in the bin

If you leave it to set it can take a while if its a large amount but if you're willing to spend the time split it up into smaller amounts and add some seeds and the birds love it:) Just be careful where you leave it though because on the ground it can attract vermin:suspect:

 

Think of the karma though..

if you have a diesel car and you have plenty of fuel in then put it in your tank i know a chap that buys new oil and puts it in his and it runs fine ?
