Most waste products are regulated by state and federal agencies. Items that CANNOT be disposed of into our regular trash waste stream (i.e., anything that will end up in a trash dumpster or down a sewer drain) includes: chemicals, radiological materials, paints, solvents, oils, batteries, tires, drums, gas cylinders, fluorescent light tubes, electronics, refrigeration equipment, infectious materials, unpackaged sharps, asbestos containing materials, lead containing materials, recyclable metals, or anything characterized as hazardous.
Any questions about what can or cannot be put into the regular waste stream should be directed to EHS
