INFORMATION FROM KODAK Disposal Guidelines for Discontinued KODAK Photographic Processing Products Below are some general guidelines to follow for disposing of discontinued KODAK
Photographic Processing Products. These guidelines replace the disposal
recommendations that were found on the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) since the
product is discontinued and the information on the MSDS may not be up-to-date.
The first thing you need to consider is if you are on a septic tank system or a sewer
system which is serviced by a publicly owned treatment works (POTW).

•
Kodak does not recommend the use of septic systems for disposal of photographic processing solutions because they do not have the ability to properly treat the waste. Other disposal options are available for septic system users, including household waste collection facilities, discharge to a permitted POTW, or a licensed hazardous waste hauler. If you are on a permitted POTW, the best and most appropriate way to dispose of your photographic processing solutions is through the sewer system. Most photographic processing solutions are biodegradable and are effectively treated when discharged to the POTW.
For more information on septic or sewer systems, refer to Environmental Guidelines for
Amateur Photographers, KODAK Publication No. J-300. This is available on our website,
www.kodak.com/go/kes.

Corrosivity (D002) — wastes that are acids or bases (pH less than or equal to 2 or greater than or equal to
12.5) that are capable of corroding metal containers, such as storage tanks or drums (40 CFR Section 261.22).
Toxicity characteristic (D004 - D043) — when toxic wastes are disposed of on land, contaminated liquid
may drain or leach from the waste and pollute ground water. This characteristic is designed to capture those
wastes that have the potential to contaminate ground water when land disposed.
