To prevent unwanted reactions from occurring.
Imagine your team is doing an experiment using five litres of hydrochloric acid. You finish your work and put the waste in a 19-liter plastic beaker (otherwise known as a five-gallon bucket). The team at the next station is doing an experiment with five litres of sulfuric acid. If they put the waste in the same bucket, you're going to have to evacuate the whole school because mixing these two acids liberates chlorine.

Chemicals are disposed in separate beakers to prevent them from mixing with other chemicals and causing unwanted reactions. This separation helps to maintain the purity and integrity of the chemicals, ensuring accurate and reliable results in scientific experiments or processes. Additionally, it reduces the risk of contamination or accidents that could occur if incompatible chemicals mix.
