Answer
Brief Explanations:
Chemical - contaminated materials should be disposed of properly. Paper towels used to clean a chemical spill are hazardous waste due to chemical contamination. They should not go in the lab sink (risk of chemical release into plumbing), wastebasket (not for hazardous items), or chemical waste container (usually for pure chemicals). Hazardous waste container is for such contaminated items.
Answer:
in the hazardous waste container
