How do I dispose of the chemicals from a formol titration?

Chemical disposal is important (check before pouring it down the drain)!

Formol titrations use a chemical called formaldehyde, and it is considered hazardous waste. Putting that down the drain can not only degrade pipes, but it can also cause chemical reactions in the pipes, and if there is enough of it, you could get a fine from your municipality. We recommend placing the waste from this titration into a labelled plastic jerrican. For more detailed directions, we recommend that you reach out to your municipality and/or a chemical disposal company in your area. They will be able to give you clear, concise directions.
