Chemical Waste Pick-Up Request Webform

If the waste is mixed-bulk waste stream, under Waste Stream/Chemical or Compound Name describe the waste, do not list the contents (i.e. Solvent Waste, Acid Waste, Chemically Contaminated Lab Trash, etc.). Note: It is important that the waste constituents along with percentages/volumes be listed out on each respective EHS Chemical Waste Label.

DEHS approved chemical waste containers that are NOT damaged or grossly contaminated will be returned within five business days after pick-up.

Chemical waste pickups are made once a week depending on the number of pick-ups called in for that week. Under normal conditions, pick-ups are made on Tuesdays.

We will only pick up waste that has a properly filled out waste label attached.

Reagent chemicals for disposal must be boxed with a packing slip attached to the box. Go to our Laboratory Chemical Waste Disposal Guide or Office and General Waste Disposal Guide for more information on chemical waste disposal.

If you have any questions using this form, please contact Environmental Health & Safety at (302) 831-8475.
