Hazardous Waste Management
Hazardous waste disposal is regulated federally through Environment Canada, provincially through the Ministry of the Environment and locally through the GVRD Sewer-Use Bylaw. It is SFU's policy to comply with all legislation to protect the environment.
Some implications of these laws are:
- Disposal of hazardous materials down the drain is prohibited.
- All hazardous materials designated for disposal must be properly labeled and packaged in suitable containers.
- Every person that may use, handle or dispose of wastes, must be informed of the proper methods of disposal.
It is everyone's responsibility to adhere to established procedures and to comply with the law. Please refer to the list below for chemical, biological and radioactive waste disposal procedures.
