Plaster and other dusts or particulate matter is not to be placed in the Trash Room dumpster. Arrangements should be made for a separate dumpster to be used specifically for the particulate construction debris. It is the responsibility of the individuals conducting the demolition to remove any furniture or equipment from the demolition site. Arrangements should be made with the College Physical Plant staff to locate items pending permanent disposition. State Fire Marshal regulations prohibit the use of corridors for even temporary storage of such items.
Fume hoods are to be rendered free of chemical contamination prior to disposal.
The College Health and Safety Team will evaluate for disposal. All metals should be brought to that location, segregated as to type of metal and placed in the appropriate drum. If the item contains several different metals or if you are uncertain as to the type of metal, bring the item to the attention of Machine Shop personnel for determination. Plastic such as PVC, teflon and plexiglas are also to be brought to the Machine Shop for recycling. The items that are recyclable within the College will be made available to other College personnel and, if necessary, stored on a temporary basis at the College storage facility.
