How to Package & Transport Chemicals

Do NOT mix chemicals together.
Keep products in original labeled containers if possible.
Place containers in cardboard boxes. Use crumpled newspaper to prevent breakage.
Place leaky containers in clear plastic bags and transport in boxes with newspaper.
Put boxes in the trunk or in the back of vehicle away from passenger.
For batteries, please cover terminals with heavy tape, or place individual batteries in separate plastic bags to prevent short-circuits.
