Environmental Health and Safety hazardous waste staff will now pick up your radioactive waste. The change was piloted in autumn 2019 and resulted in reduced pick-up wait times.
| What's the Same | What's Different |
|---|---|
Package and label waste in the same manner. Continue to direct questions about any pre-disposal or post-disposal evaluation to your EHS safety representative. For material ordered on a radiation permit, make waste disposal requests through EHS Assist. Make pick-up requests of naturally occurring uranium and thorium through the EHS website. If there is a charge for the pick-up, complete the billing in advance. Material that requires special paperwork and placarding will be picked up by EHS radiation safety personnel. | Submit paperwork (de minimis verification forms and counts of vials that were held for decay) electronically to radiation.safety@osu.edu. Enter container survey results into EHS Assist. Pick-ups may be done on any day of the week. |
