A brief description of steps taken to reduce hazardous, universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
Combined efforts of the EHS Manager, Recycling Coordinator, Electricians, Science and Fine Arts faculty to identify such wastes, seek out and obtain alternatives and purchase smaller amounts of chemicals over a period of several years. In addition, the vendors were chosen with input from all of the USNH campuses and included a review of their Sustainability related practices.

Used hazardous wastes are stored in an approved building on campus and are collected periodically by Clean Harbors, Inc.
Universal Wastes are stored in a separate approved building on campus and are collected periodically by Violia Environmental Services.
