Unwanted Materials

Utah State University has made some changes to Hazardous Waste pickups. We have changed to the EPA’s RCRA Sub Part K. These regulations were created to address the specific needs of hazardous waste handling at Colleges and Universities. Hazardous Waste will now be named “Unwanted Materials”. Most changes associated with sub-part K will happen behind the scenes but, rest assured that all “Unwanted Material” will still be handled and disposed of in the same environmentally safe and prudent manner as it has always been.
