UCSD Waste Tags Program | Pharmaceutical Disposal | Employees Only
By law, hazardous waste containers must be properly labeled for storage, transportation, and disposal. A UC San Diego hazardous waste tag stating ownership, accumulation start date, contents, and hazards of the waste must be securely attached to your waste container before waste is added.
The Online Waste Tag Program (OTP) is UC San Diego’s Online Waste Tracking Program. When you enter information about a waste chemical into the OTP, it generates a completed waste tag ready for you to print and attach to your container. Use the OTP’s collection request feature when you’re ready for a waste pickup.
