Hazardous Materials

Disposal

Each Dean is responsible for being aware of any hazardous materials used in his or her areas. Lee College has no employee certified to dispose of hazardous materials. Accordingly, the College uses contractors, certified by the State of Texas, to perform such disposal. Here is the procedure to follow:

Step 1 – Notify the physical plant service call technician at extension 6490 that you have hazardous materials that need to be disposed.

Step 2 – The physical plant service call technician will assign a job order number to the request and   notify the Director of Physical Plant .

Step 3 – The Director of Physical Plant , in conjunction with the Purchasing Agent, will decide on a    certified contractor to perform the disposal.

Step 4 – The Physical Plant Director will submit a purchase requisition for the work.

Step 5 – The Dean of Administrative Services will approve the Purchase  Requisition.

Step 6 – The Purchasing Agent will issue a Purchase Order to the contractor chosen to do the disposal.

Step 7 – The contractor will dispose of the hazardous material.

Step 8 – The contractor sends to the Dean of Administrative Services the executed copy of the uniform manifest for hazardous waste disposal.
