Chemical Waste

Pick up request and questions: call Environmental Health and Safety: 916-734-2740.

Hazardous waste container labels: you are encouraged to use Word to prepare labels for recurring waste streams, but do not modify the categories or other text, as the labels are designed to meet regulatory requirements. Be sure to fill in the date, location, chemical contents, and concentration on the label and secure it to the waste container before you begin filling it with waste. It is against the law to have waste in an unlabeled container!
