[labnetwork] Decontamination services

[Dennis Schweiger]

Here at the University of Michigan, our EHS department would pick up the
task of either decontaminating them so that they could be disposed of with
normal waste, or finding a disposal company that would take the
contaminated waste.  They handle our weekly chemical waste disposal, and
have disposed of contaminated equipment for us, up to and including an
Arsenic/Phosphorous GSMBE tool that caught on fire when we tried to clean
it internally.  That was quite an event....

I would start by asking your local University waste department (whatever
they may be called) and see what they say.  If there's pushback from them,
I can pass along our local waste vendor to see if they could assist.
