Does the institution have strategies in place to safely dispose of all hazardous, special (e.g. coal ash), 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, special (e.g. coal ash), universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
A key component of the university's waste management plan is waste minimization. WFU (Wake Forest University) has a progressive Waste Minimization Plan. Current year minimization includes diversion of hazardous waste cylinders, carbon, and art studio waste solids to recycling in lieu of disposal. All Universal Waste is sent to permitted recycling facilities.
A brief description of how the institution safely disposes of hazardous, universal, and non-regulated chemical waste:
Wake Forest University has a hazardous waste management program whereby all generated waste streams are inventoried, collected, and stored in a Hazardous Waste Accumulation Area on campus. All waste is properly marked and labeled in approved containers, and segregation of incompatibles is achieved by employment of two distinct hazardous waste storage buildings. Hazardous, universal, and non regulated chemical waste is transported to a US EPA Permitted TSDF. Annual training is provided to all department personnel that generate hazardous waste.
