Tips for a successful chemical waste collection
Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) is working with campus partners to reduce delays in chemical collections. The two most common issues that delay chemical waste pickup from labs include:
- EH&S is unable to access the space where waste containers are kept.
- Waste is not clearly labeled and/or there is no clear indication of the waste storage location within the space (when the lab is unoccupied).
These issues can lead to EH&S making several attempts to fulfill one waste collection request.
