It would be helpful to know
- What chemical(s) were in the containers in the drum?
- What process did you use to confirm there was no leakage from these containers?
- Are you trying to dispose of the drum only, or the drum containing the vermiculite?
- What are the drums constructed of?
- How big are the drums?

Hi,
I am trying to find out if I can throw out the barrels that were used to hold chemicals after a fire. They were packed in vermiculite and all bottles were closed. We didn't see leakage when we put everything back. How can the empty barrels be disposed of?
Thanks
