How do you dispose of unused quantities of Procion MX dye left over in the squirt bottles?

Dilute the dye with water as you pour it down the drain. Procion MX dyes are not considered toxic waste and will not damage your septic tank. 

You can reuse the bottles for dyeing, after rinsing them and letting them dry. Procion MX dye powder is much more economical when purchased by mail-order in larger quantities.
