Ir recycling step 1

The first thing to do is collect the waste. As you can see in the photo, there is a good bit of it from the various labs in the department. Some of it has been evaporated already, so its pretty dense. Most of it, however, is a lot of solvent for not a lot of metal. This picture shows the bulk of what I collected initially. In the present form of whatever it was collected in I would estimate the volume to be 4 to 5 liters.
