Disposal of Waste

The safe disposal of waste and by-products of project fabrication processes is taken very seriously here at ECE. Not only for environmental reasons but for safety, waste must be disposed of properly.

For all used batteries, please bring them down to ECE STORES in MCLD 1032.

For all chemical waste, please bring it down to the ECE STORES in MCLD 1032. All waste must have the following:

  • Chemical Name Labelled
  • Original Containers
  • TDG

For the disposal of UBC owned electronic equipment (such as old oscilloscopes, hard drives, computers), please contact Engineering Services.

The disposal of these waste materials is handled by the machinist. Please inquire by visiting the machine shop.

For leftover project waste such as IC's, electronic components and all materials that are not listed on this page, please contact the Engineering Services Contact for your course (CLICK HERE for current contacts)

Please contact or visit the Technical Services Manager (MCLD 1018).
