Request Collection and Supplies
Safety Supply Catalog
Requests for waste to be collected and supplies delivered can be made using the online Waste and Supply Request form or by calling (734) 763-4568.
NOTE: Promptly call your waste in for collection. This helps reduce the hazards from waste that accumulates longer than necessary.
If calling, please provide the following information when requesting a waste pick-up:
- Contact name and phone number
- Building and room number where the waste is located
- Type of waste to be collected
- Number and description of the containers foreach waste type
- Replacement containers needed
- Any special handling instructions or hazard notifications
- For radioactive waste
- The authorized users name is required
- inform us if the contact exposure rate of any waste container exceeds 50 mrem/hour
Best Practices for Waste Containers
- Use waste containers that are in good condition. Keep all containers closed, except when adding waste, to prevent accidental spills and evaporation. NOTE: this is a regulatory requirement.
- Ensure that waste containers are equipped with adequate secondary containment. This will help contain any leaks and prevent spills from spreading, minimizing the risk of larger contamination issues.
- Keep your containers in a secure location, and ensure they are protected from exposure to weather, vandalism and unauthorized access.
