Chemical Waste Pickup Form

LABORATORY WASTE PICKUP

To request a chemical waste pickup of lab waste or to request chemical waste containers and supplies, please complete our online chemical waste request form.  The form requires a valid PennKey and password.

Note: If you have partially filled carboys or other partial containers that you want to get picked up, please write a check mark on the top right side of the label.  This tells us that the container is ready to go.

Waste containers provided by EHRS should only be used for the collection of chemical wastes.  Please do not use EHRS provided bottles for other applications outside of waste collection.

EHRS waste containers are made from HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) and have been tested against all manner of waste streams.  While there are some compatibility charts that identify HDPE as being incompatible or otherwise not recommended for specific chemicals, those assessments are made in the context of how the chemical effects the container and how the container effects the chemical.  There have been no compromised bottles because of how chemical incompatibility since at least 2013.  Contact chem_waste@lists.upenn.edu for individual questions and concerns.

If you have additional questions, contact EHRS during office hours, Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM.  Call 215-898-4453 or send an email.
