    The university is changing its system for registering chemicals, and to simplify for the changeover, a campaign for the disposal of hazardous chemicals is launched. Campus Umeå operations are now offered the possibility of disposing hazardous chemicals to the Hazardous Waste Building (Säkerhetshuset) free of charge on Fridays at 08:00–10:00 during the period 12 November until 19 December.

    Please note that the disposal of potential explosive chemicals must be pre-announced to Prezero, please contact Magnus Andersson on magnus.andersson@prezero.com or +46 72-232 11 87.

    When you hand in chemicals, the following form must be filled in: Declaration of hazardous chemical waste. Please state "Kampanj 2021" as reference under Org.unit/Ref.code on the form to avoid being charged.

    If you have questions regarding your chemical waste, please contact the chemical expert Per Liljelind on per.liljelind@umu.se or +46 90-786 93 21. If you have questions regarding the campaign, please contact the environmental coordinator Åsa Bäckström on asa.backstrom@umu.se or +46 70-202 95 12.
