Contractors who are licensed to transport contaminated waste are used. The University has the appropriate licences to dispose of wastes. Waste disposal is generally the responsibility of the Buildings and Grounds Division. However, due to the nature of the waste, disposal is overseen by the Occupational Health and Safety Unit. Any queries should be directed to this unit.
