Disposal of Empty Peracetic Acid Bottles

[SUBSCRIBE AICALIST Heidi Gettons]

We have recently changed over our AFER to one that uses Peracetic Acid. I have received different advice on the disposal of the empty bottles, some are saying they must go Clinical waste others says general waste. I cannot locate anywhere in guidelines/standards that says where they should be disposed of. Could anyone offer some guidance.

Thanks
