Areas where hazardous wastes may be generated on campus might include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Science Labs (i.e. spent or expired chemicals from
chemistry, biology or other labs; abandoned compressed gases, etc.)
- Art Departments (i.e. paints, thinners, photo developing
chemicals, glazes, contaminated brushes/rags, etc.)
- Physical Plant Shops (i.e. paints, thinners, solvents,
certain pressurized aerosol spray cans, spent fuels, spent mercury-containing
fluorescent lamps, unless properly recycled, which is discussed later in
this manual.)
