Waste management for disposal

The disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous special waste: chemical, sanitary, WEEE, iron, wood, hydraulic oil, demolition, furniture/bulky items is carried out in accordance with Regulation 2025, the Procedures and the Manual drawn up by the Professional Waste Resource Management Unit, which the facility undertakes to implement by appointing the relevant roles. https://intranet.unibo.it/SpaziIct/Web3/Pagine/GestioneRifiutiPericolosiProcedura.aspx

The Local Unit Manager (RUL) receives waste at the DTR, assists with the preparation of the necessary documents, ensures correct storage, and sends the waste for disposal. For delivery to Temporary Storage Depots prior to Collection (DTR), the RUL is assisted by the Laboratory Waste Representatives (ReRL).
