Producers of Infectious Waste are to contact their respective Department of Building Services to schedule the pickup and treatment of infectious waste items. All infectious waste shall be kept separate from other wastes. All other waste, except radioactive waste, is to be referred to the Department of Environmental Health and Safety for proper classification or disposal. Upon receipt, EHS will schedule a pickup of the waste material. Wastes are to be packaged in containers suitable for the waste material.
All wastes are to be labeled as to the specific contents.
Wastes that may undergo dangerous decomposition or reactions are to be kept separate from other waste items. The Department of Environmental Health and Safety may, at its discretion, refer costs incurred from the improper handling or disposal of any waste back to the producing or generating department. This cost will end with the proper transfer of the waste to the department or office as defined within this policy and compliance with other waste handling and disposal guidelines approved by the Environmental Safety Committee.
