Turpentine should be sorted as:

Residues and containers with contents
Hazardous waste / Farligt affald
Turpentine and turpentine residues should be handed in as hazardous waste because it is a solvent that can be flammable and harmful to people and the environment. Hand it in in the original container or a clearly labelled, sealed container. Cloths or paper with turpentine residues should also be treated as hazardous waste.
