Waste disposal
Waste, other than burnable and recyclable resources, must be disposed of in ways compatible with the Waste Management and Public Cleansing Act. When disposing of waste by research laboratory, please submit a disposal request through the department’s designated office.
At our university, waste generated in laboratories and other areas is separated into experimental waste and household waste, and further sorted in detail. They are then properly disposed of through an external contractor.
For information on sorting and disposal methods, please refer to the 'Chemical Substance Management and Waste Liquid and Waste Management Guidelines' and the poster (see below).
○Disposing of waste products from experiments
Since the composition of experimental waste generated at the university varies widely, it is essential for the waste generator, who is most familiar with the properties, toxicity, and hazards of each type of waste, to properly separate and store it. It is also crucial to ensure the reliable transfer of the waste to an external contractor for disposal. Experimental waste is collected at each department and regularly disposed of. Collection methods differ at each department. Please inquire to the responsible department.
○Processing of domestic waste
＊Domestic sorted waste
Put out waste at the separate collection areas located at each department and please be sure to follow the rules.
○Recycling system
Staff can post information regarding items they are willing to give away or loan, or are looking for, on the web page shown below. Search for items using the “Search for recycled items” function, and if an item comes up, you can contact the person listing it and recycle the item effectively. Please use this system whenever possible.
