Unwanted chemicals free
Hi
I am new to Sciencemadness so if this is the wrong place to post this please just say so.
I have a small collection of mostly fairly innocuous inorganic chemicals like copper sulphate and nickel chloride and also some vanadium
pentoxide and a bottle of DMSO to get rid of. I don't want to pour them down the drain or bury them.
Details available if you're interested. Anyone want them? Recipient arranges transport! I'm in the UK (Somerset).

I'd pay postage https://www.myhermes.co.uk/
EDIT: I have been informed that https://uk.interparcel.com/ would be a better choice, esp. regarding breakages.
Whichever, I'd pay p&p, even though I have copper sulphate (who here does not ?) and dmso already.

Yes mine has.
Post office or parcel force = heap big trouble, you got to declare the items contents and telling porkies is an offense.
My Herpes dosnt give a shite and most the drivers managed to destroy all the packages, so they wouldnt have a clue which it actually came from.
The rest seem fine, but to be fair all other couriers use the same sub contractor where I live, they are a registered courier anyway.
Bottom line you would be insane to use the post office, Argos click and collect is better option.
