How
to Properly Dispose of Hazardous Waste
All departments and official functions of Goshen College are to dispose
of hazardous waste through the Chemical Hygiene Office (CHO). This is a
requirement of the Goshen College Hazardous Waste Disposal
Plan, as well as the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). Disposing of waste through the CHO is a very easy process.
-
Contact the CHO (x7314 or calvinfs@goshen.edu)
and indicate that you have hazardous waste to be picked up.
-
Please give the following information:
-
Identity of waste(s)
-
Approximate quantity - Person responsible for generating waste(s) (for
recordkeeping)
-
Location of waste(s)
-
Best time to pick up waste
The identity, hazards, name of originator, and date must also appear on
the waste containers. Unfortunately, Goshen College may not accept waste
from outside individuals, organizations, or firms. Goshen College also
may not accept waste generated by employees at their homes or other location
if it is not directly related to their work functions. In this case, it
is recommended that you dispose of hazardous waste at one of the Elkhart
County Hazardous Waste Disposal Days. These collections are usually held
three or four times per year on Saturdays at various sites around the county.
It is free for Elkhart County residents. For more information, call the
Elkhart County Solid Waste Management District at 523-2390 or the Environmental
Health Department at 875-3391.
