What You Need to Know About Lab Pack Disposal

Over the past 75 years, industries have developed new products that make our lives easier. But with progress, there has also been an increase in by-products and wastes that can lead to contamination of land, water and air.

The USEPA categorizes waste generators into two classes:

Small quantity generators, or anyone who generates between 220 lb/month and 2200 lb/month. That's as little as 1/2 drum of waste with the density of water. Many are small businesses (like automotive shops, printing shops, laundries or dry cleaners) with minimal amounts of waste that accumulate over time.

Large quantity generators or anyone who generates 2200 lbs/month (1000 kg/month) or more during any given month of a calendar year of a hazardous waste. Thats only about five drums of a waste with the density of water.

All waste generators large or small cannot store waste for more than 90 days in accordance with regulations and must train personnel in proper handling and emergency procedures, as well as keep an emergency preparedness plan outlining these procedures in case of an accident.
