All items must be fully labelled using a waste label and the Waste Profile Form must be filled out before leaving the lab to come to the waste facility.
Fillable waste labels are provided by the Safety Office and may be picked up from your waste facility during your appointment, or from the Safety Office at COM 116.
Alternatively, labs can choose to fill out labels on a computer and print them themselves. If using the printable template labels, laboratories must use at a minimum water-resistant permanent adhesive labels to reduce the chance of label damage or loss of label during transport. Bottles with labels printed on paper or standard mailing labels will not be accepted. The following templates are available:
- Avery 60503 Waste Labels – This template has four labels per page and is recommended for most bottles. Can be printed on Avery 60503 or Avery 61532
- Avery 60502 Waste Labels – This template has two labels per page and is recommended for use on 4L bottles or larger when additional space is needed to write contents. Can be printed on Avery 60502, Avery 06579, Avery 35526, Avery 6579
