Waste Solvents

The Department has a weekly arrangement to dispose of waste solvents. Prior to disposal, you are to submit a form listing the type and quantity of waste to be disposed. At present, the waste solvents are categorized into “chlorinated” and “non-chlorinated” waste. Waste solvent containers are not dumps and may contain only approved waste organic solvents with limited amounts of solute. Reaction mixtures, oxidants or solutions of oxidants must never be put into the waste solvent containers.

No substances that are category 1 or 2 carcinogens
may be put in the waste solvents in any form.
