Purpose

The primary purpose of this program is to help University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis, a small-quantity generator of hazardous wastes, comply with federal and state laws pertaining to proper hazardous waste management procedures. Small Quantity Generators are institutions that produce between 220 and 2,200 pounds of hazardous waste monthly, or that accumulate such amounts. Hazardous waste regulations often are complex and difficult to interpret. A six-step compliance procedure has been chosen for the program. These steps include:

  1. Identification of hazardous waste;
  2. Registration of waste streams;
  3. Storing and labeling hazardous waste;
  4. Safety requirements;
  5. Transportation, management and disposal of hazardous waste;
  6. Payment of fees and taxes and penalties or violations;

Applies to University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis laboratory personnel that generate hazardous waste.
