What Does A Lab Pack Service Include?
A lab pack is a process of managing hazardous and non-hazardous materials (including laboratory or medical chemicals and samples, cleaning supplies and maintenance supplies) of five gallons or less for transportation and disposal.
Here’s a quick look at the process:
- A highly trained professional will inventory, characterize, segregate and package expired and no longer needed chemicals and materials.
- Items are typically segregated with compatible chemicals and then packaged into an appropriate container (typically 55-gallon drums) with compatible absorbent.
- The containers are readied for shipment to meet all regulatory requirements, including labeling, manifesting the waste, and providing any additional required shipping documents
- Based on generator preference, the waste is either removed the same day or scheduled on a routine basis.
- Waste is picked up and transported in DOT-approved containers to its final destination the nearest permitted TSDF
- The appropriate paperwork (manifests, shipping inventories, MSDS, etc.) is completed for shipment. Upon completion, the disposal company provides you with a complete and detail drum inventory and packing list and can arrange transportation and disposal as well.
