Abstract
In this study, the amount of hazardous wastes generated from the education and research activities of Mersin University between 2017 and 2019 years were investigated. Within the scope of zero waste strategy, actions were planned and waste management commission was established as a first step to supervise and coordinate. Considering the types and quantities of hazardous waste collected within three years, a hazardous waste management system was developed for the university, included identification, classification, transportation, storage and disposal of wastes. In addition, the results of the works implemented with the developed hazardous waste management road map were discussed.
