Case Study: Oregon State University achieves streamlined, compliant hazardous waste management with Veolia North America

Oregon State University Relies on Veolia

Oregon State University needed a hazardous waste management partner to handle all of its waste streams — including refrigerated and inhalation-hazard materials — on a regular schedule and for occasional lab cleanouts. The university selected Veolia North America and uses their hazardous waste pickup services along with Veolia’s CIMS tracking software for real‑time manifest and compliance management.

Veolia North America consolidated OSU’s waste handling, providing pickups about every 65–70 days, a single point of contact, on‑site support for large cleanouts, and CIMS access to print manifests and annual reports instantly. The outcome was simplified scheduling and compliance, faster manifest turnaround, and cost savings (Veolia won the best price on roughly 80% of materials), making hazardous waste management markedly more efficient for Oregon State University.
