All radioactive waste must be collected in containers supplied by Environment, Health & Safety.
To request an empty container or have a full container picked up, fill out the Request for Radioactive Waste Disposal form RW-50
Submit the form before Tuesday, 2:00 p.m. for pickup each week. We cannot accept any request after 2:00 P.M. since time is needed to prepare the containers and shipping papers. We will contact you to schedule the pickup on either Wednesday or Friday.
You must perform a wipe test on every container that is to be picked up. Please attach the raw data to the container. Radiation Safety staff will not pick up a container without the wipe survey attached!
