These containers are available from Health Physics and are the only approved containers for use with radioactive materials at the University. Full containers are replaced with empty ones when they are picked up.
Wondering
when your waste will be picked up?
If you have submitted a Radioactive Waste Pickup Request and your
waste was not picked up as scheduled, please check to make sure that
the Container Contents sheets on your container(s) was properly
filled out. Health Physics can NOT pick up radioactive waste
without a signature, date and wipe test results recorded on the
Container Contents Sheet.
Another common problem that results
in containers not being picked up as scheduled is incomplete
information on the Waste Pickup Request. Please make sure to
complete all fields on the Radioactive Waste Request form and
remember that liquid waste requires a percentage equalling 100% of
all constituents. Chemical names must be written out (no chemical
formulas) and pH must be recorded prior to pick up.
Please call Health Physics at (303) 492-6523 if you have any questions about getting your waste picked up.
