How should scrapped fiberglass acid tanks for concentrated salts (32% concentration) be disposed of? Specifications: D3000*6000. That is, it has a diameter of 3 meters and a height of about 6 meters. Don’t say in your reply that you should chop it up and take it to the deep mountains to throw or bury it; I’m from the mountains, and I don’t support doing such things.:$ Also, I asked how to handle the newly purchased fiberglass, and the reply was: we offered to cover the shipping costs to send it to them, but they refused. :L I would like to ask the experts here: do you have any suggestions or solutions? If it is to be given to farmers to use for watering fruit trees, how should the salt acid tank be treated first?
Has it reached its end of life, or can it no longer be used? If it has simply reached the end of its useful life, it can be used at a lower capacity as you suggested, for holding clean water. However, if it is too damaged to be used any longer, then it should be disposed of by taking it back to a scrap recycling center or the manufacturer for processing.
It’s broken; there’s a crack in the waist area. I think it should be discarded. These items are considered hazardous waste, and they require the assistance of relevant departments at hazardous waste disposal centers or specialized companies to handle them. I don’t know where in Guangdong it is I’ve also thought about giving it to fruit farmers for watering, but I’m not sure what treatment is needed before it can be used – or if just rinsing it with clean water is sufficient
It is estimated that it must be neutralized with hydrogen, oxygen, and sodium hydroxide before it can be used as clean water. However, you can reinforce it on your own and use it for purposes other than handling hazardous materials or as a pressure vessel.

That’s good, but the issue of what to do with fiberglass equipment once it reaches the end of its useful life and needs to be disposed of remains unresolved.
It is recommended to consult the solid waste treatment center for advice. It is very dangerous to entrust hazardous waste to unqualified businesses for disposal. None of us will know what he used it for.
It seems to be able to degrade naturally, so time and sunlight should do the trick. If that doesn’t work, storing some water or something can help; a simple cleaning will suffice as it won’t get very dirty.
Recycling waste without the proper qualifications is illegal; collecting such items is unlawful； If it is to be given away, it must be cleaned thoroughly before being sent.
If it is discovered, both the scrap recycling business and you will have to take responsibility
