Case Study: Oregon State University Streamlines Hazardous Waste Management with Veolia North America

Oregon State University manages hazardous waste every 65 to 70 days with Veolia North America

Oregon State University needed a reliable hazardous waste management provider to handle all of its varied waste streams, including materials requiring special handling like refrigeration, on a consistent schedule while also accommodating lab cleanouts. Pete Schoonover, the university's Hazardous Materials Specialist, turned to Veolia North America for a comprehensive waste solution to consolidate these services.

Veolia implemented a full-service program, providing flexible pickups from a central warehouse or directly from labs and designating a single point of contact for customer service. The results included significantly improved operational efficiency and compliance, aided by Veolia's CIMS tracking software for real-time manifest access. The university also achieved cost savings, noting Veolia provided the best price for about 80% of materials and delivered what they described as spectacular service.
