Lab wastes are transported through the buildings using plastic bins, wheeled carts with spill containment edges or other secondary containment equipment.
Lab wastes are unloaded at the short term storage area for determination of disposition.
A University vehicle, permitted to haul hazardous waste, and stocked with spill containment and emergency response equipment is used to transport the waste from the laboratory buildings on the contiguous campus to the short term storage area in the Given Bunker. Wastes transported in ESF vehicles are placed within plastic bins or other secondary containment. In the event an emergency or release at the Given Bunker or during transportation, ESF staff will implement the Campus Contingency Plan , calling for assistance or evacuation as needed. Wastes that are not destined for reuse or for management as hazardous waste will be either recycled or disposed in accordance with solid waste regulations, policies and procedures. A second copy of the tag is attached to the barrel label to complete the inventory for that shipping container.
