Same here.  My disposal company is good with just a simple IR and solubility testing to avoid the extra fees of calling it an unknown.

My first step in these situations is to give the haz waste disposal company the opportunity to look at the containers. They are often able to identify what questions need to be answered to dispose of the material appropriately. These questions are often less detailed and numerous than I would have thought based on the text of the RCRA regs.
