  4. General Principals • No waste down the sink • Store waste safely • Do not dilute chemicals for disposal • Always label the chemical waste-name description, risk assessment number, key hazards • Do not mix waste types if possible • When in doubt ask • Waste pathways should be identified in the risk assessment before any waste is generated. • HS321 UNSW Laboratory Hazardous Waste Disposal Procedure

Chemical labeling rules apply to waste. • Waste is removed by the UNSW contractor
