Non-bulk containers must be brought down during the second half of the pick-up. All personnel transporting chemical waste must be trained on the hazards of chemical waste, safe handling techniques and procedures to follow in the event of a spill.
Pick-up form must include all hazardous waste to be collected including specific content for each container.
Our goal is to provide for the disposal of hazardous waste in a safe, efficient, and ecologically sound manner, while meeting all of the applicable regulations.
With that in mind, we will contact you requesting as much information as possible.

When all chemicals in the container add up to 100%, you will beasked for container information including type and volume/weight information. In-depth information on waste management can be found in the various manuals and information links found on this webpage.
For more information, refer to Section 3 of the Laboratory Safety Manual, take the Managing Laboratory Chemicals online trainingor call 206.616.5835. Do not accumulate the same type of waste in two different containers at the same time. Waste-like chemicals are not likely to be used in the future. Chemical wastes:The container must be labeled as unwanted material or hazardous waste, depending on your location, and submitted for a pickup online. Place the dry picric acid container into the 1G container of DI water and allow it to sit and absorb the water for at least 24-hours or until the DI water turns yellow, Once the water has turned yellow, open the 1G container in order to access the bottle of picric acid and open the bottle of picric acid to allow the chemical bottle to be submerged into the water, Close the 1G container with the submerged picric acid bottle, red tag the bottle (picric acid, water; corrosive) and request a pickup from the labs SAA or place in the labs MAA, Clearly identify constituents on red tag and indicate associated hazards, Place the container in a secondary containment bin with a green SAA sticker, Use a quick connect for 20L containers or larger in order to provide a closed container, or, Drill a fitted hole in 4L or smaller bottle cap for tubing, which must be a tight fit to provide a closed container, Pyrophoric chemicals (lithium, magnesium, potassium, etc), Heavy metals (mercury, chromium, lead, arsenic, etc.

EHS provides guidance for maintaining compliance and offers annual training to those managing Universal Waste streams on campus, specifically within the Department of Facilities. Stay under maximum accumulation limits for each type of waste (54 gallons for most chemical waste, 1 quart for extremely hazardous waste - see the Chemical Waste Management section of the Laboratory Safety Manual).
Make sure that the waste accumulation location is under your control (i.e. If working with these materials, please work with EHS to prepare a lab/process specific SOP to ensure safety requirements are met. Each hazard class should have a separate secondary container. Special care must be observed when handling these materials and wastes and precautions must be implemented.
