UNWANTED CHEMICAL PICK-UP REQUEST

To have unwanted chemicals removed from your area, complete and submit an Unwanted Chemical Pick-up Request Form.

In order to comply with state and federal hazardous waste regulations all chemicals must be properly labeled and stored.  Incompatible chemicals should never be stored together.  

All chemical containers must be labeled with the Identity of the Chemical(s) therein and Appropriate Hazards Warnings,
in words, pictures, symbols, or a combination thereof which provide all of the hazard information.

Unwanted chemical containers must also be labeled with:

• Principal Investigator/User’s Name,

• Date, and

• Amount of Chemical

• Mixed Chemicals must be labeled with Constituent Contents and Approximate Percentage of each.

Keep unwanted chemicals in a separate area, segregated by compatibility, preferably on shelves where they can be reviewed and identified.

Please do not store or package unwanted chemicals in cardboard boxes; packaging will be done at the time the chemical(s) is picked up from your facility.

The form must be filled out completely and emailed to douglas2@marshall.edu.  You will be contacted within five working days with a time frame for waste pickup.

Please ensure that the packaged waste is stored in a secure location until pickup.   A copy of the MSDS sheet for each chemical listed should be attached to the email or available with the container at time of pickup.

For assistance with chemical compatibility, questions about completing the form, or concerns about chemicals and chemical waste management contact Nathan Douglas.
