All chemical and biological waste must be collected in an approved receptacle and given to EHS for disposal. This ensures that the waste is disposed of in an environmentally-responsible manner.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #051c2c;font-size: 12pt\">Waste pick ups are generally completed on Friday mornings.
