CHEMICAL REDISTRIBUTION PROGRAM
For the last several years, EHS has identified chemicals that are unopened, not expired and in good condition for reuse in other labs on campus. These chemicals are removed from the waste program, inventoried and the available list posted on our web site: http://www.yale.edu/ehs/Documents/waste/chemdistributionlist.pdf.
The chemicals are left in the inventory for 11 months and if not reused, must be shipped as hazardous waste. Labs that can use the chemicals can contact our office via email through our account for free delivery in 1-3 business days. To date, EHS has successfully redistributed over 180 bottles of chemicals. This has resulted in overall waste reduction as well as thousands of dollars in both stock and disposal costs. Please check this list as it changes weekly.
