The Hazardous Waste Team at EH&S picks up hazardous chemical waste every other Tuesday (alternating Tuesdays with Biological Waste). See our Events Calendar tab above for the next pickup.
To request a waste pickup, please ensure your waste is in compliance with the guidelines below and then fill out the form at the bottom.
If you have a special circumstances (lab closeout, inordinate amount of containers, unknowns) please email hazwaste@binghamton.edu or call us at 7-2211.
Waste Pickup Guidelines
- Waste containers must not be overfilled. 90% of capacity is considered full.
- Waste containers must be labeled properly (yellow sticker and waste tag).
- Waste must be in a Satellite Accumulation Area.
- Pickup requests must be made BEFORE the scheduled pickup date.
- Waste must be in a chemical-compatible container (no old food containers, no liquids in open top containers, etc.).
- If an empty chemical container is being used as a waste container, the original label must be completely defaced and our Triple Rinse Procedure must be followed.
- All waste containers must be labeled as soon as waste is stored in them.
- Do not sign the waste tag until the waste is ready to be picked up. If the tag is signed, EH&S will collect it under the assumption that the waste is ready for pickup.
Any waste containers that are not in compliance with these guidelines will NOT be picked up by EH&S until they are in compliance.
