The University of Missouri Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) is updating hazardous waste labeling requirements to comply with recent EPA and MODNR regulation changes. Starting February 28, all hazardous waste containers must display the new neon green Hazardous Waste Labels. Labels must clearly indicate hazards and utilize the word Hazardous Waste.  Please retain the original accumulation start date when replacing older yellow labels. EHS staff will distribute new labels during lab visits, or they can be requested through the EHSA supply request form. For more details, visit our chemical labeling page.
