Happy Lab Week Histonet! How are you all disposing of empty chemical containers? Triple rinsing and throwing them in regular trash (with the labels defaced,) or having the empty containers disposed of by your outside chemical contractors? I'm sure this answer will vary from state to state, and institution to institution (and chemical to chemical for that matter). Sorry if this has been asked previously-I searched the archives, and an answer wasn't readily found. This came up during safety rounds the other day, and our institution's policy on this is pretty vague.
Thanks, Brian D.
