Potassium Permanganate?

[Broch]

Other than dumping tree branch prunings in the forest, nobody leaves garbage in the forest, it's too far to drive when the transfer station is both nearby and free.

The problem here is that it's free for householders but costs business to legally dispose of rubbish. So, if a builder does up a kitchen, the waste gets fly-tipped (not all builders obviously). There are gangs that will go around offering to remove rubbish, take a fee, then dump it on public or even private land.

Builders here usually add the tip fee to the job. And, they use the tip like I said because anywhere else is too far to drive.

But, this is rural Canada. Just another village in the mountains but a healthy dose of civic pride in appearances. Even the tourists have remarked on it. McBride is clean.

I got a bucket of it at a car boot just before the covid panic started, it sat for while as I'd no immediate use for it but in a moment of boredom I opened it up and was surprised to discover that it was in 500g (ish) retort pouches tightly packed and not bulk.

It can do some very nasty things indeed, far more excitable than those Lofty describes.
