The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) allows some states to operate hazardous waste management programs with certain specific regulations, usually under a state-issued "uniform waste management rules" permit. These local programs are permitted to accept and treat non-radioactive hazardous waste, provide information about safe disposal of chemicals and pollutants, and monitor any air or water pollution resulting from hazardous wastes. Contact your local EPA office for details on how to properly dispose of such materials.

The safest way to dispose of hazardous chemical waste is to find a licensed hazardous waste disposal company in your area. These companies are experts at handling and disposing of chemical waste safely and according to regulations. Depending on the size and type of hazardous materials being disposed of, they may be able to bring their facility directly to your home laboratory for disposal or give you instructions on how to package, store and transport the waste for them.
