Chemical Waste

EHRS has an online chemical pick-up request form. This form should be immediately filled out when: 

• Unwanted and old chemical reagents need to be removed;
• The satellite accumulation waste container is full and
• There is more than 5 gallons of hazardous waste or one quart of acutely hazardous waste accumulated.

Research personnel can submit chemical pick-up requests electronically to EHRS. The request must be completely filled out with the requested information. Once the request is submitted a return email is sent to confirm the request. Personnel from EH&S will respond to chemical pick-up request within 72 hours of receipt of request. Unknown chemicals will not be removed from the laboratory.

Review the Laboratory Safety Manual [PDF] or Hazardous Waste Management Plan [PDF] for additional information concerning allowable amount accumulated, labeling and permitted accumulation time.
