Abstract

A portable safety container for the temporary storage, transport, and/or disposal of mixtures comprising waste organic solvents comprises a strong open-topped outer shell, such as part of a metal can, having at least one handle, an inner shell of material resistant to chemical corrosion, for example a glass bottle, fixed within the outer shell and having a protruding neck fitted with a hinged lid which remains open when the container is inverted for emptying but which is normally held closed by gravity when the container is upright.
