To properly dispose of expired lab inventory items, first, segregate them based on their hazard classification (e.g., chemical, biological, radioactive). Ensure all items are clearly labeled and stored in appropriate containers. Follow your institution’s disposal protocols and local regulations, which may involve contacting a certified waste disposal service. Document the disposal process for compliance and safety records. Regularly review inventory to prevent future accumulation of expired items.

To ensure proper disposal of expired lab inventory, conduct a thorough assessment to identify and segregate items based on type (e.g., chemical, biological, hazardous). Follow local regulations for hazardous waste management, label items clearly, and engage licensed disposal services to handle and document the process. Decontaminate reusable materials as required, train staff on safe disposal practices, and maintain detailed records for compliance and audits. This ensures safety, regulatory adherence, and environmental responsibility.
