Detailed Guide
Step 1
Log in with your U of I/VandalWeb username and password.
Step 2
Complete the Chemical Waste Collection Request form.
- Check Generator Information for accuracy and edit if necessary.
- If you are submitting a collection request from one of the R&E Centers or branch campuses, select the appropriate Facility from the drop down menu.
- Using the Building drop down menu, select the building where the waste is located.
- Enter the Room No. where the waste is located.
- Click in the Chemical Name/Constituents field and enter the first constituent (see additional instructions on the Web page).
- Click in the Percentage field and enter the constituent percentage.
- Click the Add button. (Additional blank fields will appear for the next constituent and percentage if needed.)
- Continue entering chemical names and percentages. The final percentage must equal 100 or you will receive an error message.
- If you enter an incorrect chemical name or percentage, use the Edit or Del button to adjust. After the correction is made, select the Update button for the particular constituent.
- Select the Container Size with the drop down menu. If the correct size is not listed, select Other and enter a value and unit.
- Select the Container Type with the drop down menu. If the correct type is not listed, select Other and enter a description.
- Select the Physical State with the drop down menu. If the correct physical state is not listed, select Other and enter a description.
- Enter a numerical value for the Total Quantity in kilograms only.
- Select the pH with the drop down menu. Select N/A only if the waste material is solid or non-aqueous. If the waste is known or suspected to contain acids or bases, determine the pH and choose the appropriate entry.
- Enter any Additional Information. For example, you may wish to request a supply of empty containers, or you may want to specify where the waste is stored in the room.
Step 3
Review the information you have entered. If necessary, you may edit the entries. If it is correct, click the Submit Request button and a confirmation message will appear. Click OK or Cancel as appropriate.
NOTE: The system performs some error checking and displays an asterisk next to the field that requires correction; a message appears just above the Generator Information block to explain what action you must take.
Step 4
A new page will appear with the instruction “Please print the label below and attach to the container.” Select the highlighted Print button and a new window will open for printing the label.
IMPORTANT!! This label is specific to the container for which you entered the information. You must submit a new request and print a new label for each container.
Step 5
Close the print window.
Step 6
You will now have three (3) options:
- Log Out to exit the Chemical Waste Collection Request system;
- Submit another request for a different waste material;
- Submit another request for an identical container, which allows you to submit another waste container with a waste composition similar or identical to the one previously submitted. Edit the new entry as necessary.
Step 7
Check your e-mail inbox for a receipt of your waste collection request. Though not the preferred method, you may print a copy of the e-mail receipt to use as a label if you forget to print the label immediately after submitting the request.
REMEMBER: The Chemical Waste Collection Request system will accept only one container per request. Additional containers require additional requests.
