Some activities in offices at the University
generate wastes that are regulated by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
and/or the New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection (NJDEP). These wastes must be handled
properly to protect both human health and the
environment.
Regulated wastes must be properly identified,
collected, containerized, labeled, and segregated.
These waste materials are disposed of through
REHS, Material Services or Facilities Maintenance.
To learn more about managing regulated wastes
in your office please use the links below:

will be picked-up by REHS. This includes the following,
