How can I make sure my chemical waste doesn’t get picked up mistakenly as trash?
The chemical wastes most likely to be confused with trash are the 5 gallon buckets of solid, toxic waste that are allowed to be stored on the floor. Make sure these buckets are clearly labeled with the yellow Laboratory Waste Accumulation stickers and these stickers are visible at all times. Use clear bags as a liner inside this clearly labeled bucket. Don’t remove the bag and set it aside, unlabeled, for any reason and never put the lid underneath the bucket.
