      5. Container Type, Physical Type, & Unit of Measure: select from drop-down menus
      6. Container Size: enter a number corresponding to the unit of measure
      7. Location of Waste: use if necessary to describe where the waste is located within or around the lab. This is not the building and/or room number; these will be recorded automatically.
    3. Under Container Contents: for the 1st chemical, type in the 1st four letters of the chemical and click “Search”. This will take you to a list of chemicals. Find the one you want, and click “Select”.
    4. Repeat step 3 as necessary to add additional chemicals. (Note: you may have to adjust volume or percentage entries.)
