Regulated Materials Management

Services include:

  • Disposal of chemical, biological, radioactive, and universal wastes (such as batteries and mercury-containing fluorescent lamps). Whenever possible, this program seeks to reduce, reuse or recycle in order to minimize disposal costs and environmental impact.
  • Purchasing/receiving radioactive materials;
  • Shipping of hazardous materials/dangerous goods in compliance with Department of Transportation and IATA regulations;
  • Staff in this area also conduct industrial waste water sampling and perform spill cleanup.

These programs are overseen by Hazardous Materials Supervisor Rene Mendez.
