UCLA Hazardous Chemical Waste Program

The Chemical Hazardous Waste (Hazwaste) Team manages the disposal of chemical waste that is considered ignitable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic. We are available as consultants for the identification, labeling and packaging of chemical hazardous waste in accordance with federal and state regulations, and UCLA policy.

In addition to consultations, the Hazwaste Team performs (daily) on-campus and (monthly) off-campus waste collection.
