Should I triple rinse these?
Almost never. That’s the short answer. Under RCRA, triple rinsing is required only for containers that held acute (e.g., P-listed) wastes. [§261.7(b)(3)(i)] Let’s say you have a drum that once held product acrolein (P003). If you triple rinse, each of the three rinses is also P003. So, you’ll need a container to hold them—like the one you are rinsing. Thus, triple rinsing never makes sense unless you really want to save the container. For more McMorsels, visit our website.
