Disposal of Batteries and Lamps

If your department generates universal waste (a type of hazardous waste) including rechargeable batteries and lamps containing heavy metals, or college-owned electronics that no longer work, review the Universal Waste and Electronic Fact sheet for proper disposal.  Universal wastes contain heavy metals, are regulated by the Department of Environmental Protection through the universal waste regulation, and may not be disposed of in the regular trash. 

Review the Universal Waste Policy for addtional information. Questions?  Contact the Director of Environmental Health and Safety & Risk Management.
