Regulated Waste
Sidebar
The University of Louisville is dedicated to the protection and conservation of the environment. Established Federal and state regulations require that the University ensure that hazardous, bio-hazardous, radioactive, and universal wastes be properly managed “cradle-to-grave”. The DEHS Environmental Operations & Hazardous Materials (EOHM) group is directly responsible for the management of these wastes for the University.

Lab Close-Out Notification
Due to the variety of hazardous materials (biological, chemical, and radioactive) in laboratories, PIs leaving the university, retiring, or relocating their lab(s) must safely "close out" their lab space(s). This includes proper removal and disposal of unwanted and waste chemicals, controlled substances, biologicals, and radioactive materials. The lab closeout process protects the PI, the health and safety of UofL and personnel, and the new lab occupant.
