Chemical Waste Recharge

EH&S sends hazardous chemical waste generated by the campus to several facilities that treat or dispose of chemicals. EH&S derives the recharge rates for hazardous chemical waste from the rates charged by the waste disposal/treatment facilities plus the costs for transportation, contractor labor, packaging materials, and other supplies. In addition, a nominal per-item charge is included in the recharge rate to encourage consolidation of compatible wastes.

If you have any questions about recharge rates, please contact the Recharge Administrator at 642-3073 or e-mail at ehsrecharge@berkeley.edu.
