This is trash from a mobile meth lab in Iowa. Common examples of drug lab garbage include cat litter, toluene, ammonia, ether, muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid), sulfuric acid, acetone (nail polish remover), soda bottles, matches, ether, and pseudoephedrine packages. Tell-tale Signs of a Meth Labĭo you live or work next to a meth lab? How would you know? The big giveaway of a meth lab is its trash, which includes everyday chemicals that aren’t found together except when someone is cooking meth. Some of the chemicals used to make meth are flammable and explosive, so a rolling drug lab presents a risk to the community. Meth labs release toxic vapors and produce a significant amount of trash, so having one in a fixed location makes it easier to find. The reason the lab is mobile is to evade detection.

Transportable laboratories known as mobile drug labs or rolling meth labs are used to synthesize the stimulant methamphetamine. Blue crystal meth is caused by the source material used in the drug synthesis.
