Waste Pickup Request
Don't save it up! Do NOT allow more than one container of waste type to accumulate per lab.
A pick up service is provided by the Department of Environmental Health & Safety. Waste material should be placed into glass, metal, or plastic containers and kept closed. Segregate waste by hazard classes. Collect halogenated waste separate from nonhalogenated waste.
