When you need to dispose of chemical waste safely, there are some important steps to follow.

First, you should identify the type of waste you have. This can include hazardous chemicals, solvents, or biological materials. Knowing what you’re dealing with will help you figure out the right way to get rid of it.

Next, it’s important to label all waste containers clearly. Use labels that won’t wash away and tell what’s inside and if it’s dangerous. For example, labels can say "Corrosive," "Flammable," or "Toxic." This information is really important for anyone who will handle the waste later.

Another key step is to segregate your waste. Don’t mix different kinds of chemical waste. Mixing them can cause dangerous reactions, like releasing harmful gases or even causing explosions. You could have different bins for acids, bases, and organic solvents to keep things safe.

Finally, always follow your school’s disposal procedures. This could mean getting help from a licensed waste disposal company. Never pour chemicals down the sink or throw them in the regular trash.

Remember, following these steps helps keep you and everyone around you safe!
