Effective chemical waste management is essential for safety and regulatory compliance. All hazardous waste must be clearly labeled, stored in appropriate containers, and segregated by type. Never mix incompatible wastes.

Complete the required waste disposal request form when the waste container is full or before twelve months since the accumulation start date, and someone from Risk Management & Safety will pick up the container within three days.

Review the full Waste Management Guide to ensure your laboratory’s disposal practices meet UNLV policies and procedures.
