Background
The University has implemented a new contract for the collection and disposal of Hazardous Waste
This is a new contract which replaces all other localised contracts for this provision
The contract covers the collection and disposal of all hazardous waste for both Durham and Queens campuses
∂
Who does it effect?
All staff and students who generate hazardous waste.
Everyone who produces hazardous waste has a responsibility to ensure that it is disposed ofsafely. The University is currently being audited by Eco Campus (Nottingham Trent University) on our environmental practices; we are currently at Bronze level and hope to receive Silver recognition
∂
Who does it effect?
Each Department/College/Division or other Unit is responsible for ensuring that there are local arrangements in place for the safe collection and disposal of waste
This training session sets out the procedures to identify, segregate appropriately and dispose of hazardous waste responsibly.
∂
Legislative framework
Waste management is subject to three areas of legislative control:
• Environmental;
• Human health and safety; and
• Transport.
∂
Human health and safety
The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH)require that arrangements are put in place for the safe disposal of wastes containing substances hazardous to health.
William Tracey will advise on what is required from you in regards to COSHH and please ask at the Calman Learning Centre if you have any future queries
∂
Transport
The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations require that all dangerous goods, including wastes, are transported safely by classifying the material, and using appropriate packaging and labelling to control risks.
William Tracey will advise on how to package and label hazardous waste and please ask at Calman Learning Centre if you have any future queries [email protected]
∂
Waste streams
There are 4 major hazardous waste streams produced within the University:
• Chemical - including solvents;
• Healthcare - previously known as clinical waste;
• Electrical – not included in this contract
• Radioactive – not included in this contract
Other waste streams that are also classified as hazardous include batteries, fridges and freezers, aerosol cans and fluorescent/UV tubes.
A full list of all hazardous waste with brief details of disposal methods will be explained by The William Tracey Group.
∂
Durham University Hazardous WasteThe hazardous waste generated by Durham University does not always go
for disposal, if there is a better way we will use it:
• WEEE is recycled
• Fluorescent tubes have a recycling charge in the purchase price so we collect these in containers situated at 3 locations and Mercury Recycling only charges for the transport
• Batteries are collected in boxes and sent to Valpak for recycling
• For information on how to have these items collected or any other queries please contact [email protected]
∂
Elimination/minimisation
You should first consider whether you can eliminate the production of hazardous waste, for example by using non-hazardous materials in an experimental procedure or neutralizing the hazardous material before disposal.
Is it possible to purchase air freshener that is not dispersed by an aerosol can?
Is it possible to use reusable dispensers or do you need to buy the item at all?
∂
Information, instruction and training:You should also ensure that staff and students are
given suitable information, instruction and training about waste disposal arrangements, and include procedures for waste disposal in your Departmental Code of Practice.
Students may not realise the issues faced when disposing of items they buy such as a helium canister used to fill balloons for parties
∂
CollectionsHazardous Waste Collections will be collected on the last Wednesday of
every month. All fully completed lists must be submitted two weeks before the day of collection could you please email us at [email protected] Any emails received after this time will be collected on the next collection.
Please be aware that when signing for your hazardous consignment note you will be handed a copy for your records, we would appreciate if you could keep a copy and forward one to the Calman Learning Centre at your earliest convenience on [email protected]
Urgent collections can be made and this needs to be marked clearly on the form along with your requested collection date.

Managing Haz WasteYou must:
• Use registered Waste Carrier
• Complete consignment notes for each load(Consignment notes follow the waste to end point. These are also called “chain of custody”.)
3. End point must be licensed to accept haz waste.
NB – No consignment note needed for uplift of haz waste from residential property.

Summary
Think before you buy:
•How you are going to dispose of the waste generated
•Is there an alternative dispenser or product
•Do you actually need to buy it
Think before you throw away:
•Which waste disposal route does it fit into
•How are you to package it
•How is it to be labelled
Remember you need to pay for a consignment note to dispose of your hazardous waste so make sure you have collected all your items that need collecting. This is law and the Environment Agency could call at any time to any site.
Thank You
