- Keep aqueous and organic waste separate<\/span><\/li>\n
- Do not combine reactive chemicals such as strong oxidizers with organic compounds<\/span><\/li>\n
- Keep solid and liquid wastes separate<\/span><\/li>\n
- Keep short half-life ( <30 days) isotopes separate from longer half-life isotopes<\/span><\/li>\n
