WFUHS EH&S is responsible for the development and implementation of safe and effective management practices for all waste streams: biological, chemical and radioactive.

Our goal is to manage the handling, sorting, storage, and disposal of all infectious waste generated at Wake Forest University Health Sciences (WFUHS) in a manner that complies with all relevant regulations. Faculty and staff handling hazardous waste should be properly trained.
