Uranyl Acetate and Thorium Nitrate Disposal

ADCO Environmental Services provides turnkey waste disposal and environmentally friendly recycling options for Uranium and Thorium compounds (Usually labeled Uranyl Acetate, Uranyl Nitrate, Thorium Acetate, and Thorium Nitrate) also known as N.O.R.M. waste which are sometimes labeled as Oxidizers. Naturally occurring radioactive materials such as those listed above are typically found in the academic environment used for demonstrations in such places as high school Chemistry labs and college laboratories, but we have also disposed of Nitrates and Acetates from government institutions and industrial settings. At ADCO Environmental Services, we have been assisting generators with the proper disposal of Uranium Acetate, Uranium Nitrate as well as Thorium Nitrate and Acetate waste since 1965 in The United States.

Please note that Uranium and Thorium compounds should not be kept in storage for long periods of time as they can sometimes oxidize if exposed to outside air, lids can become loose over time, and contamination can become present on the outsides of the bottles or even contaminate an entire workspace!
