Solid Waste

Identification
Any item (swabs, paper towels, gloves etc) that has been soaked in a solvent deemed hazardous (both aqueous and non-aqueous) is considered hazardous solid waste. Solid chemicals also fit within this category.

To determine if a solvent is hazardous, consult its Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDA) at the MSDS folder next to the fume hood or at ChemWatch Gold FFX

Disposal
Once a substance is identified as hazardous, it can be disposed of in the white buckets under the fume hood labelled Hazardous Solid Waste.
