Our Program
The Hazardous Chemical Waste Team manages the disposal of chemical waste classified as ignitable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic. Our primary service is to ensure the safe handling and disposal of hazardous chemical waste while maintaining regulatory compliance for academic and research entities on campus. We also provide consultation services for the identification, labeling, and packaging of chemical hazardous waste in accordance with federal and state regulations, as well as UCLA policy.
