Hi all,
This was answered back in 2007 but I thought I should check again.
Disposing of empty chemical containers- straight in the bin?
held on to for a hazardous waste pickup?
taken by me to disposal sites?
Apologies if this is covered in the handbook- I have left it at home today :(

Re: Empty chemical containers
Triple rinsing is the standard way for cleaning most chemical containers. I leave the lid on and throw it in the bin.
