Disposing of Benzene

• 1). Search in your community locally for landfills that take dangerous substances and see if they accept benzene. There may be specified days or times of the year they will collect chemicals like benzene or other dangerous or toxic solvents for disposal. There may be fees involved for accepting the benzene, so check ahead of time.
  
  
• 2). Some communities will do curbside pick-ps of these substances, so check what the regulations are in your area and what the times are for the pick-up. There may be specific rules regarding the containers as well.
  
  
• 3). Contact a private waste disposal company in your area to find out if they will accept it and what the costs are. Keep it local to avoid the hassle of shipping the benzene.
  
  
• 4). Investigate if local laboratories in your area have a need of benzene or will accept it for laboratory use.
