  1. Waste Container Guideline • Corrosive Liquids – poly or glass containers • Flammable Liquids – metal or glass containers • Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) – plastic or original container • Solid contaminated materials – open top containers • Sharps – puncture proof, closed top containers • Reuse original containers for waste collection if materials are compatible!! • Contact EHS Office with questions x23477

  2. 20 Liter (20L) Container • Used for waste liquid collection • Cost effective and reduces waste • Use to consolidate solvents:acetone, methanol, xylene, toluene, etc • Great for HPLC collection • Order online using the Chemical Waste Collection Form • Contact EHS Office w/ questions at x23477

  3. HPLC Quick Connect • Container hooked up to liquid process unit (HPLC) • Stored in SAA secondary containment • Red Tag completed • When full: date red tag, disconnect, store in SAA, call for pickup within 3 days • New container can be started (per MADEP Bureau of Waste Prevention, Satellite Accumulation of Hazardous Waste Fact Sheet, September 2005) • Contact EHS Office w/ questions at x23477

  4. Used for chemical waste solids Allows for proper collection of solid waste, such as: Ethidium Bromide Silica Gel Chemical Rags & Wipes Order online using the Chemical Waste Collection Form Contact EHS Office w/ questions at x23477 5 Gallon Open Top Containers

  5. Chemical Sharps Container • Sharps: needles, plastic syringes, broken glassware, razors, glass & plastic pipettes • Lab Solvents • Heavy Metals: Arsenic, Selenium, Lead, Cadmium • No rags, wipes, paper towels or vials of liquids • Order online using the Chemical Waste Collection Form • Contact EHS Office w/ questions at x23477

  6. HF Safety training is needed – EHS0130c-A Use original container when applicable or plastic containers for collection of waste Calcium gluconate gel provided for labs using HF – check dates on gel!! Contact EHS office w/ questions at x23477 Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) Container

  7. Gas Cylinder Disposal Reminder • Gas cylinders should be returned to BOC Gases (Ext. 3-4761). • Non-returnable lecture bottles should be avoided. • Departments / Lab (DLC) groups will be financially responsible for the disposal of non-returnable cylinders. • Contact EHS office w/ questions at x23477
