A brief description of steps taken to reduce hazardous, special (e.g. coal ash), universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
Occupational Health and Safety is responsible for disposing of hazardous, universal and non-regulated chemical waste.
A brief description of how the institution safely disposes of hazardous, universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
When an individual or department has hazardous waste to dispose of, a request for disposal is made to Occupational Health and Safety. It is sealed in an appropriate container and Occupational Health and Safety picks it up and disposes of it to the proper location. Animal Health Technology and Biology animal waste is disposed of in cooperation with Mission Flats landfill. The landfill ensures that the waste is in the proper area and is well-covered within a short time of arrival. Outdated bear spray is collected and disposed of twice annually.
