Ruth Ann,
This will depend on locale. I know that due to local regulations, our students/researchers must collect the first three rinses as hazardous waste. That said, our local regulations are some of the strictest in the country, so I imagine that the regulatory burden will be significantly less for you.
Sincerely,

Hi,
When students rinse glassware with water, after making a reasonable effort to remove excess chemicals, can the rinse water legally go down the drain? Thank you!
