Non-hazardous laboratory glass must be placed in a Glass Disposal Box lined with a strong plastic bag. Prior to transport, the container must be securely sealed, labeled “Broken Glass”, and taken to the dumpster by laboratory personnel when it is full. Do not overfill this container. BSWs do not handle Glass Disposal Boxes. More information about this process can be found in the Sharps, Glassware and Pointed Plastic Disposal Policy (PDF).
For questions about managing broken lab glass in your lab, please contact the Office of Research Integrity and Safety at 706-542-9088.
