Containers

The ORCBS supplies containers for chemical and radioactive waste collection. A variety of smaller containers are available at General Stores.

Original containers of a hazardous material may be reused once to collect the same type of waste material. For example, many solvents and acids come packaged in 1-gallon or smaller glass bottles which are suitable for waste collection.
