Miscellaneous waste types-Ethidium Bromide waste-

http://www.ehs.unc.edu/pdf/EtBr.pdf-Sharps-For chemically contaminated sharps, use a metal

container, and when full put the lid on and it can be simply tossed in the regular trash with the wording, “SHARPS,” on the outside.  If your sharps are contaminated with Bio-hazard materials, also use a metal container. Autoclave tape should be placed over the biohazard symbol in an "X" prior to autoclaving. The metal container can then go in the "autoclaved waste" containers or regular trash.   It must also have,” SHARPS”, written on the outside.  Radioactive contaminated sharps are the only sharps that go in poly containers.  If they are contaminated with P32 for example, place the full, sealed, poly container in the dry waste radioactive box for P32.  If you have any more questions or comments.

-To purchase metal sharps containers- Call 6-5671, reference item #SP28700
