The Hazardous Waste Management Program was designed to ensure that the collection, storage, and disposal of all hazardous chemical waste generated at Augusta University is accomplished in compliance with all federal, state, and local rules and regulations, and to provide the details of in-process hazardous waste treatment procedures as approved by the Chemical Safety Officer.
Chemical users may also contact the CSO to request a site visit for hazardous waste determinations, collection, and disposal information.
