Overview 

If you leave dry ice in the lab sinks, the sinks will break due to the temperature differential. 

Your lab will lose money and time, because your lab will have to buy a new sink and wait for Facilities to install it. 

Approved Methods for Disposing of Dry Ice 

• Contact the Building Manager to have them pick up the dry ice. 
• Leave the dry ice in the Styrofoam container it came in and it will dissipate over time.
