    Proper management of substances used in laboratories is essential to reduce risks to health and the environment. In fact, in laboratory practice, the handling of chemical substances can pose possible threats to the health of individuals. Therefore, this study aims to carry out a bibliographic survey on the reality of chemical waste disposal in research laboratories. An integrative bibliographic review was carried out, of a descriptive, exploratory and qualitative nature, using data available on the CAPES Periodicals Portal. After the selection stage, two categories were established for content analysis, namely: a) the reality of chemical waste disposal in the analyzed research laboratories; b) possibilities and alternatives for waste management. The articles were selected from 2015 to the present, and covered data referring to seven Brazilian states, namely: Rio Grande do Sul, Rio Grande do Norte, São Paulo, Tocantins, Santa Catarina, Paraná and Minas Gerais. In general, the information obtained showed that chemical waste is being disposed of incorrectly and that institutions do not have adequate supervision for such disposal. Given the context, it is clear that it is essential that universities themselves encourage good practices, training their professionals and investing in the resources necessary for the appropriate management of all chemical waste in teaching and research laboratories.
