Safe Chemical Disposal Procedures

Always use the proper disposal jugs located in the hood: the ACETONE jug for acetone; the ORGANICS jugs for other organic solvents (or organic solids); the ACID jug for acids such as H2SO4; the BASE jug for bases such as NaOH solutions or ammonia solutions. If in doubt, ASK YOUR TA!

Absolutely DO NOT dump things down the drain, unless the procedure specifically says to do so.
