A brief description of steps taken to reduce hazardous, special (e.g. coal ash), universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
Hazardous waste has been reduced over time as the faculty has actively reduced the numbers and amounts of hazardous chemicals used on site. Universal waste remains relatively constant in the amounts of used oil, fluorescent lamps, and lead acid batteries generated.
None
A brief description of how the institution safely disposes of hazardous, universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
Hazardous waste is handled by a hazardous waste broker who picks up our materials and completes the manifests. We normally have relatively little material generated. Lead acid batteries are recycled by the vendor where new batteries are purchased as are the fluorescent lamps.
