A brief description of how the institution safely disposes of hazardous, universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
All hazardous and non-regulated chemical waste is collected and stored in a waste storage room located in the Koshland Integrated Science Center room E – 011A. In accordance with EPA regulations regarding our generator status as a “Small Quantity Generator” all hazardous and non-regulated chemical waste is removed by a licensed hazardous waste disposal company at no more than 180 day intervals. Haverford College currently contracts with Clean Ventures, Camden, New Jersey or Disposal Consultant Services, Piscataway, New Jersey. The waste material is treated or disposed of by various methods. These methods include the following: fuel blending, neutralization, recycling and purification for re-use. Disposal by landfill is considered by Haverford College to be a last resort method of disposal.
Universal wastes including batteries and mercury are removed from campus by Clean Ventures, Camden, New Jersey or Disposal Consultant Services, Piscataway, New Jersey. Haverford College recycles all types of batteries used on campus. In addition, a program has been implemented to accept personal batteries from students, staff, and faculty. Mercury is a very minimal waste stream on campus and is recycled or purified for reuse by the contractors mentioned above.
All waste fluorescent tubes are collected by the Facilities Department and recycled/disposed of by Veolia Environmental Services, Port Washington, Wisconsin.
