New resources supporting proper waste practices
(SACRAMENTO) 
At UC Davis Health, we remain committed to protecting the health and safety of our patients, staff, and community while upholding our responsibility as good environmental stewards. Proper waste disposal is a key part of this commitment.
As highlighted in last week’s Insider article, “Internal waste audit: Progress made, work still needed,” independent auditors carefully examined how we’re handling waste across our facilities. Their review reinforced the importance of everyone doing their part to ensure items go in the right bins.
To help make that easier, we’ve created another quick-reference flyer that summarizes key waste disposal practices for items when alcohol may be present. It designed for easy posting in high-traffic areas like break rooms, nurse stations, supply rooms, and huddle boards.
