• Observe the discharge rules (see "How to separate and dispose of laboratory waste").
• Dispose of waste in such a way that minimizes the chances of leaks.

1. Number of plastic bags

Since the following types of experiment wastes pose a high risk of leakage, use at least two layers of plastic bags for storage.

• Items containing a small amount of liquid (large amounts of fluid should be removed)
• Items with a particle diameter of 1 cm or less (powdery items should be disposed of when collecting "unnecessary chemicals"
• Sharp plastics, glass, etc. (especially tips pipette tips, etc.)
• Odoriferous materials (try to avoid odors)

2. Weight and size per unit

To prevent plastic bags from tearing and damage to cardboard, as well as to ensure safety during collection and transportation, use the following weight and size guidelines.

• Plastic bags used for storing experiment waste should have a capacity of 45 liters or less.
• The weight of each piece of noncombustible cardboard should be less than 20 kg (approx.), and the maximum length should be about 50 cm.
• Sharp plastics, glass, etc., should be less than 80% of the volume of a sealed plastic bag as a rule of thumb. (Do not overfill.)

3. Biological waste

Waste associated with living organisms such as plants and fungi should be pretreated before discharge. However, infectious waste (infectious materials, human organs, blood, and waste related to animal experiments, etc.) are not included in experiment waste.

• Autoclave. (Remove as much liquid as possible.)
• Items that require inactivation should be treated in an appropriate manner to ensure inactivation.
