Celebration & Reminder: All secondary schools took inventory of the chemicals in their labs ensuring proper storage and updated SDS (safety data sheets) during the 2020/21 school year. Chemical disposal fees are the responsibility of the school.
The Flinn Catalog has a fantastic guide for disposal methods. Available in the paper catalog or online. Flinn Disposal Methods (A free account is required to view the online version.)
