Where should contaminated liquid waste be collected and disposed?

• A. In a FAA
• B. In a regular trash bin
• C. In a sink
• D. In a metal drum in the yard

Answer: (A)

Contaminated liquid waste must be collected in an approved, designated waste container and kept sealed until it’s disposed of through the proper hazardous waste program. This prevents leaks, spills, and contamination of sinks or ordinary trash, and ensures the waste is handled according to safety and environmental regulations. The FAA is the approved waste accumulation container used for this purpose in the facility, located in a designated area and labeled with contents and dates. The other options—regular trash, a sink, or an outdoor metal drum—pose clear risks: they can leak, react, or bypass proper disposal processes and regulatory controls. Using the FAA keeps the waste contained, traceable, and safely managed.
