Request Hazardous Waste Pick Up

Use the Chematix system (https://chematix.uga.edu) to create waste cards to affix to your waste containers and request waste pickups.

Step 1 of 2: Create Waste Cards

  1. Login to https://chematix.uga.edu using your UGA MyID and password.
  2. Select the Waste tab
  3. Click the Create Waste Card link
  4. Choose the Waste Card type
  5. Enter all general information requested (pH is optional) at the top of the page
  6. Enter chemical constituents & percentages (if applicable) at the bottom of the page.  Use the Select Chemical buttons to search for chemicals.  The Barcode field should only be used if you selected the Pure Chemicals in Individual Containers option.  Enter chemicals & percentages (please be as accurate as possible with percentages) until you reach 100% then click Calculate to verify.  (Call 706-542-5801 for help with unknowns.)
  7. Click Generate Waste Card
  8. Print the Waste Card, sign it, and adhere it to the waste container using a plastic pouch if available.  (Use a rubber band to attach the card to small containers.)
  9. Be sure to see the next section on Submitting a Pickup Request when you are ready for a pickup.

Step 2 of 2: Request a Lab Waste Pickup

  1. Login to Chematix (https://chematix.uga.edu) using your UGA MyID and password
  2. Select the Waste tab
  3. Click the Create Pickup Worksheet link
  4. Select the lab location—the available Waste Cards for that lab location will appear at the bottom of the page
  5. Checkbox (or Toggle for all) Waste Cards to be picked up and click Add Selections to Worksheet
  6. Be sure to add your alternate contact telephone number in the Instructions box
  7. Click Save & Submit for Pickup

You're done!  Typically pickups will occur within two weeks of request submission.  Your lab location, the volume of waste and the type of waste may impact how long it takes us to fulfill your pickup request.  In some cases, our waste vendor (not UGA staff) may pickup waste directly from your lab.  Direct-vendor pickups typically take additional time since we work with them to prepare required transportation paperwork based on your waste content.
