I am in the process of clearing out our "pig sty" (it was one many

take
from me:-

i) CO2 cylinder. 5ft long job labelled distillers company! It is not
empty.

Empty it somewhere safely and cut it up.


ii) a 25litre drum containing some variety of petroleum spirit. The
area
was once used for painting/spraying and much car maintenance.

any waste engine oil place near you?

Is there no label?

Lots!

AnalaR, Prod 10179 ER, UN 1271` Petroleum Spirit

Cannot find those specific items numbers near them are Petroleum Spirit
things.

UN1271 is essentially 'petrol'

tip it out and let it evaporate then scrap the empty container

I'd try and have some fun burning it - though I'd be very careful while
doing so.
