Sink Disposal

  • No waste substances should be put down sinks that could ultimately harm:
    • the environment
    • the sewerage system
    • the health and safety of the public
    • or have the potential to interact with other substances to cause such affects
  • However, it is acceptable for waste solutions from experiments containing trace / low levels of hazardous organic or water miscible chemicals to be disposed of via the sinks, but must be flushed with plenty of water (see ‘what can be disposed of down the sink?’)
