Hello Ruth Ann,
Only contaminated gloves should be getting disposed of as hazardous waste and those could be collected in a clear bag in the fume hood. There is no reason to
dispose of them as Haz. Waste if they are clean.
Cheers,

Sheila,
We dispose of them as hazardous waste. The Housekeeping personnel (who are untrained in Chemical safety) handle the lab trash which is mostly paper towels.

Ruth Ann,
Why are you uncomfortable with putting them in the lab trash?
What would you do with gloves collected in a separate container? Add them to the lab trash in the dumpster or dispose as hazardous waste or ??

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Disposal of Lab Gloves
Hi,
Has anyone found a suitable container in which students can leave the gloves they wore in lab? We prefer not to put the gloves in with the regular trash and
would like something obvious that maybe could be on the wall by the door – as a reminder to remove gloves before leaving the lab. Thank you!
