A1: Waste streams are segregated by type and are currently labeled to clearly identify each individual waste stream. Submitted: 2/9/2026 01:00:30 PM (CT) Q2: With regard to pricing, may vendors propose additional fees such as a stop charge, minimum pickup or no waste fee or is the per pound disposal fee the only rate that can be proposed? A2: We would not accept a stop fee. However, we would consider a “no-waste” fee or a minimum pickup fee in situations where no waste is present at the time of a scheduled pickup. Submitted: 2/9/2026 12:53:36 PM (CT) Q3: With regard to the pricing spreadsheet, "Exhibit 2 - Non-Hazardous Waste Pharmaceutical Pickup Locations" provides a listing of sites that will be disposing of non-haz pharma waste but does not provide any estimated quantities of waste that these locations will be disposing of annually. Is the University able to provide the estimated annual volumes for each location? Will any of these locations be disposing of haz pharma waste or controlled substances or just non-haz pharma waste? A3: At this time, this waste stream is not tracked separately by our current vendor (e.g., pharmaceutical versus biological waste). We estimate that approximately 10% of the total stream would be non-hazardous pharmaceutical waste. Hazardous pharmaceutical waste regulated under RCRA, as well as controlled substances, would not be sent to the vendor. Controlled substances that have been rendered non-retrievable in accordance with DEA requirements would be managed as standard biohazardous waste. Submitted: 2/9/2026 12:49:05 PM (CT) Q4: Who is the current vendor? A4: Our current vendor is Cyntox. Submitted: 2/9/2026 12:33:40 PM (CT)
