Hazardous waste

The hazardous waste management system is designed to deal with hazardous wastes on campus in an environmentally responsible manner; maintaining compliance with local regulations and demonstrating a best practices approach to environmental safety.  

  • How to submit a hazardous waste request
  • Pick-up is every Thursday, and requests must be in Wednesdays by 4:00 pm.
  • To log-in to the system, use your NetLink ID and password.
  • Please ensure that all waste containers have an appropriate label which identifies the contents (no symbols or abbreviations please).
  • Each container should also have a neon green sticker attached: “Hazardous Waste For Pickup.” This will allow our waste contractors to identify containers that need to be removed. Extra stickers are available by contacting Occupational Health, Safety and Environment.
  • NOTE: For lab clean-outs or lab decommissioning, please contact ohs@uvic.ca before starting your disposals
