Hello,
The solvent contaminated wipes final rule (40 CFR 261.4(b)(18) which conditionally excludes IPA / methanol / acetone ect..disposable solvent cleaning wipes as hazardous waste allows us to put them in a sealable container / label as excluded
solvent contaminated wipes and discard in the municipal trash.
My question is what if I have a filter saturated in acetone (not used to clean) can I put it in the same excluded solvent contaminated wipes container or do I have to dispose of this filter as hazardous waste. Right now scientists air
dry in the hood and dispose of in the municipal trash which I’m working on changing. I don’t want to break any regulations but I also don’t want to unnecessarily split hairs.
Thanks,
