The sooner new dry ice can be stored, the better, so that it does not sublime away. So when you see that a dry ice delivery has been made outside Genetic Medicine Building (GMB) Room 3082, the garbage autoclave room, take responsibility for storing it properly. Please be careful, as dry ice can hurt you if it comes in contact with your skin.

Dry ice is delivered in cardboard boxes. Open them immediately. As you face the door to exit Room 3082, there is a gray, metal chest in the corridor. Place the dry ice in there, securing both latches. There are instructions on the wall above this chest for your reference.

If there is no more space in this chest in the corridor, take the dry ice to the Sancar Lab, Bay 3070B, where you will find a second, gray dry-ice storage chest under the lab bench in the middle of the bay. Be careful not to disturb any experimental work going on in the Sancar Lab.

Without fail, flatten and properly dispose of the cardboard boxes by placing them in the large, clear, plastic cardboard recycling wedge attached to the wall by the freight elevator. Please do not leave empty dry-ice boxes in the corridor or the garbage autoclave room. If someone else has, flatten and properly dispose of them. No undergraduate should end his/her shift without properly disposing of the dry ice cardboard boxes.
