Hazardous wastes are generated from numerous sources at the University of South Carolina
including teaching and research laboratories, paint shops, art departments workshops
and motor vehicle maintenance shops. Hazardous waste generators at each of these sites
are responsible for determining if their wastes are hazardous and for properly collecting,
storing and labeling them. The Hazardous Waste Management team is responsible for
properly processing hazardous wastes for disposal through an external contractor in
accordance with federal and state regulations.
