Does the institution have strategies in place to safely dispose of all hazardous, universal, and non-regulated chemical waste and seek to minimize the presence of these materials on campus?:
A brief description of steps taken to reduce hazardous, universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
Loyola Marymount University has a well thought out and precise strategy to safely dispose of all hazardous waste that is produced within the university. Once the hazardous material is deemed trash it is picked up bi-weekly and prepared for transportation.
A brief description of how the institution safely disposes of hazardous, universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
Our hazardous waste is dealt with by Heritage Environmental Services which is state and federal approved hazardous waste service. Heritage transports the waste to their yard in Collage, Arizona where it is properly disposed of. Most of the Hazardous and chemical waste collected at LMU is byproduct of laboratory work.
Medical waste is collected weekly. This is sent to Vernon, California through the company Stericycle who is also federally approved to dispose of waste in the proper way. Once in Vernon, the waste is disposed of properly and safely.
