MATERIALS

Sample containers are not provided by NCDA&CS or our office.

  • For liquid waste, submit 12–16 oz of a representative waste sample in a plastic (not glass) bottle. Used beverage containers with the labels removed work great! Be sure to rinse the container prior to sample collection; do not use soap.
  • For solid waste, submit 1–2 quarts of a representative sample in a sealed plastic bag.
