Chemical Safety Day
Since 1981, the Chemical Safety Day Program (CSDP) has offered assistance to educational institutions and nonprofit organizations in disposing of hazardous material and waste at a reasonable cost and in an environmentally responsible way. This program is a joint effort of the MN Department of Children, Families and Learning, and the University of Minnesota. Based on the number of schools/organizations involved and the quantities of material/waste concerned,
the CSDP directly collects waste from each site between the months of April and November which is then sent to the Thompson Center for Environmental Management (TCEM) on the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus to be processed. Ninety percent of the waste processed at the TCEM comes from the University system while the remaining ten percent comes from schools, institutions, and agencies through the Chemical Safety Day Program.
