Carcass Disposal
Carcasses for disposal are generally sent to a rendering firm for reclamation. These items are put into the freezer in the Animal Resource Center, Lapham B57, until picked up by the rendering service.
Carcasses for disposal that are contaminated with radioactive material or hazardous chemicals may need to be handled differently.
- For carcasses containing radioactive materials, please contact UWM's Radiation Safety Officer at x4275.
- For carcasses contaminated with hazardous chemicals, please contact Environmental Affairs staff at x4999 or x2883.
Items must be stored in leak free containers. Identify the contaminant on either the Radioactive Material or Hazardous Waste label.
