Part 1. Hazardous waste minimization and disposal
A brief description of steps taken to reduce hazardous, special (e.g. coal ash), universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
Acquisition, release, and use of chemicals within the campus are strictly administered per course subject requirements through designated Laboratory Custodians. The issuance of these items depends on the quantity of the needed chemicals per scheduled laboratory classes. It is commonly prepared before the laboratory schedule to minimize, monitor and optimize the use of these chemicals.
A brief description of how the institution safely disposes of hazardous, universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
All toxic and hazardous wastes generated by the school through its operations & chemical laboratories are properly stored and disposed of to accredited transporter and/or treater. A Hazardous Waste Generator Identification was assigned to De La Salle Lipa by the country's regional Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (DENR). Hazardous waste transporting to the accredited treater is usually done on a semi-to annual basis.
