The department (or equivalent) can order help with the sorting, packaging and collection of hazardous waste. The types of packaging used in transportation must be approved for the transport of dangerous goods.

It is important that the contents are known and documented on the waste label, and that substances that may react with each other are not mixed. Fore more information contact the University’s waste contractor for hazardous waste.

Some examples of suitable packaging that can be ordered from the SU Shop are shown below, such as waste containers in plastic and cardboard. Packaging for infectious waste must be designed so that it can be opened and then resealed without this being visible. Containers for infectious and/or sharp waste should thus be used.
