HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

Safety & Risk Services coordinates the disposal of hazardous waste materials
through the Environmental Services Facility (ESF) located on South Campus. The
facility safely manages hazardous waste in accordance with relevant regulations.
At ESF, laboratory wastes and hazardous materials generated by the University
through research, academic and operational activities are consolidated,
recycled, re-used, neutralized and/or disposed. This section includes procedures
describing the safe and appropriate methods for the disposal of hazardous waste
at UBC Point Grey campus.

LABORATORY POLLUTION PREVENTION GUIDE


WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LAB POLLUTION PREVENTION & WASTE MINIMIZATION?

UBC has more than 400 laboratories across campus and several research facilities
located off-campus, which generate more than 95% of UBC’s hazardous waste. We
encourage every member of the University community to be aware of the
environmental and financial impacts of their hazardous waste. This guide was
designed to provide hazardous you, as waste generators, with information that
will support your laboratory pollution prevention and waste minimization
efforts.

 * Introduction to lab pollution prevention and waste minimization
 * Source reduction of laboratory waste
 * Sanitary and storm sewer pollution prevention
 * In-laboratory treatment of chemical waste
 * Planning and running experiments
 * Minimize other environmental impacts
