Dear Michele,
I forgot to mention that your state may have more stringent laws and regulations concerning what is considered “hazardous waste” and you should look for those regulations as well.
Best,
Kyle

Subject: [DCHAS-L] duct disposal
Does anyone know if ductwork used to ventilate hoods has to be disposed of as hazardous waste? We are planning to replace/upgrade some fans and controllers. Two hoods are used for extractions and acid procedures. I was asked about need
for hazardous disposal. Certainly the chemicals we use in the hoods produce vapors that are hazards. However, I am not sure whether that requires hazardous waste company.
Thanks,
Michele
