STORAGE/DISPOSAL > Overview

This section of the EVC addresses labelling and container management requirements.

The specific hazardous waste management requirements a lab must follow depend on the types of waste it produces. Some labs may set up hazardous waste storage areas that are subject to more stringent regulations. Given that most university facilities do not themselves transport hazardous waste to an off-site hazardous waste disposal facility, treat hazardous waste, or operate a hazardous waste disposal facility, the regulations governing these activities are not addressed in the EVC. More typically, your facility would generate, store the waste and then have a contractor transport the waste off site for disposal.
