CHEMICAL WASTE OVERVIEW
NEW CHEMICAL WASTE HANDLING PROCEDURES
We have simplified our chemical waste labeling procedures. The multi
colored hang tags have been eliminated and replaced with a single green
label/hang tag. The new label can be used as a sticker or as a hang
tag. 
- One label should be used for each waste container
- For 19-liter carboys please affix the label to the handle using the metal twist ties
- For other sized containers the label can affixed by peeling off the backing or by using the metal twist ties
- Labels must be completely filled out or EHRS staff cannot collect your waste
- Detailed instructions are now included on the back side of the waste label
To request a chemical waste pickup, submit an online request at Chemical Waste Pickup Form.
