Contract Services

UW System Office of Risk Management assists in development and maintenance of several environmental services contracts, primarily covering waste disposal.

Waste Disposal Contracts

Campuses (and all Wisconsin state agencies) must use mandatory waste disposal contracts for certain waste streams. Other waste disposal contracts are available for optional use. The following is an overview of consolidated contracts pertaining to waste disposal services at UW System campuses:

Hazardous waste management — Use of Department of Administration contract for hazardous waste disposal is mandatory for all state agencies, including all UW System campuses, research stations and other properties. Generally speaking, if a waste meets the RCRA definition of "hazardous waste," it must be handled under this contract. (State Hazardous Waste Services Contract #15-92645-901). Small numbers of ballasts and lamps may be removed under this contract.

Currently, Veolia is the provider of hazardous waste services. Your contact for campus pickup or other questions is:
