STORAGE/DISPOSAL > Details
Most colleges and universities do not themselves transport hazardous
waste, treat hazardous waste, or operate a hazardous waste disposal
facility. Accordingly, these aspects of the regulations governing
these activities are not addressed in the EVC. More typically, your
school generates, stores and sends hazardous waste off-site for disposal.
The following grounds/vehicle maintenance operations and materials
may invoke the Hazardous Waste Regulations:
- Generation, and disposal of used parts cleaning solvent
- Generation, storage, and disposal of paint-gun cleaning solvent
- Generation, storage, and disposal of other solvents
- Generation, storage, and disposal of paint waste
- Generation, storage, and disposal of contaminated diesel fuel
- Generation and storage of drums with unknown contents
- Generation, storage and disposal of batteries
- Generation, storage and disposal of fluorescent lamps
- Generation, storage and disposal of used oil
Given the varying nature in chemicals and waste that can arise
from a grounds/vehicle maintenance department, EVC recommends the
Hazardous
Waste Technical Guidance WM2 for more information.
