A brief description of steps taken to reduce hazardous, special (e.g. coal ash), universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
Missouri S&T maintains a campus-wide Waste Minimization Program to reduce hazardous, special, universal and non-regulated chemical waste generated on campus. The Waste Minimization Program includes a Chemical Redistribution and Recycling Program and provides guidance to the campus on minimizing the volume and toxicity of hazardous waste at Missouri S&T as well as guidance on and source reduction, recycling measures and employee training and awareness. The Environmental Health and Safety department produces an annual Waste Minimization report that describes the efforts Missouri S&T has taken to reduce waste each year.
A brief description of how the institution safely disposes of hazardous, universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
The Missouri University of Science and Technology endeavors to comply with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations including those set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR). Noncompliance with Federal and/or State statutes and their associated regulations can result in significant penalties and fines to the university and its employees.
