Yes

A brief description of steps taken to reduce hazardous, special (e.g. coal ash), universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:

The Office of Environmental Safety is responsible identifying hazardous waste and for minimization strategies. The biggest reductions happen with laboratories by implementing micro scale exercises. Paint related waste from maintenance activities is sharply reduced by use of water soluble low VOC paint.


A brief description of how the institution safely disposes of hazardous, universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:

The Office of Environmental Safety is responsible for the identification, collection and disposal of hazardous, special, and universal waste. The one exception is that the Recycle Center does collect rechargeable batteries and sends for recycling. Audits are performed for any disposal vendors that we use.
