Hazardous and Universal Waste Temporary Pickup Pause
Effective Monday, August 15, 2022 through Monday, September 5, 2022, there will be no chemical or universal waste pickups. Regularly scheduled pickups will resume September 5, 2022. Biohazardous and radioactive waste collections will continue without interruption. If you have any questions or have a waste pickup that is absolutely critical, contact us at envaffairs@umd.edu. We appreciate your understanding and patience with this matter.
