Somewhat off-topic, but I believe ventilated trash cans would be classified by EPA as hazardous substance release and would be against the regulation. Same requirement dictates that containers in a fume hood are covered when not in actve use. Don't take my word as final,  your EHS may have something to say though.

Thanks

Mike

Hi All,

I wonder if you know any vendor who sells metal trash cans for collecting solid wastes that have photoresist residues, for example, wipes, pipets and aluminium foils that are used with spin coaters. There are many vendors for regular metal trash cans without ventilation ports .  How do you collect those wastes in your cleanroom?

Thanks!
