- Pick a route: Do not transport materials on public streets. Follow the hazardous waste pick-up schedule for your building date and time.
- Stay with your waste: Never leave hazardous waste unattended in any public area or at the pick-up location. Waste must be given directly to EH&S personnel.
- What to wear: Wear appropriate lab attire (i.e. long pants, closed-toe shoes). Bring personal protective equipment (safety glasses, lab coats, and appropriate gloves) in case there is a spill. PPE should not be worn outside of the lab to the pick-up, but should be available to be worn in the event of a chemical spill.
- Training: All personnel transporting chemical waste must be trained on the hazards of chemical waste, safe handling techniques, and procedures to follow in the event of a spill.
