Chemical Safety
Chapter 4 Liquid Non-hazardous (Chemical) Waste Disposal
Liquid non-hazardous (chemical) wastes in the list below may be flushed to the sanitary sewer (down the sink) with copious amounts of water (20-30 times the amount) if the solution has a pH between 6 and 9. These chemicals were selected because they:
- dissolve in water or are water-based
- are not a toxic waste (see Chapter 3)
- are not a hazardous (chemical) waste (see Chapter 3)
- do not contain any chemicals or metals regulated by the Illinois EPA or the Urbana-Champaign Sanitary District (UCSD) (see Chapter 3).
- are not flammable
- are not corrosive
- are not reactive
An aqueous (water based) solution of any of the compounds in the list below would be considered a liquid non-hazardous chemical waste and can be poured down the sanitary sewer (sink drain) with copious amounts of water (20-30 times the amount).
If you have a chemical waste that meets all the criteria listed above, but it is not listed below, please contact the Division of Research Safety (DRS) Chemical Safety Section (via email or (217) 333-2755) to confirm whether or not the waste can be poured down the drain.
If you have greater than five gallons of liquid non-hazardous chemical waste to dispose of, email the DRS Chemical Safety Section or call (217) 333-2755. DRS will inform you whether or not the waste should be collected through the DRS chemical waste disposal program or if it may be disposed down the sanitary sewer.
Solid non-hazardous chemical wastes must be disposed through the DRS chemical waste disposal program. This is because all solid chemical wastes, whether hazardous or non-hazardous, are regulated in Illinois as special waste if placed in the regular trash and so it is illegal to dispose any solid chemical waste in the regular trash on campus. The DRS Chemical Safety Section has the ability to have the appropriate certifications in place to dispose these solid chemical wastes in a legal manner that is of no cost to UIUC. See Chapter 3 for additional information on Illinois special waste.
