I asked our HW manager & he replied:

Nothing specific or specifically geared toward art studios here (we refer them to our general HW policy), but I'd suggest she check out the link to Pratt's guidance document, largely considered the "go to" resource for art studio spaces:

Hi everybody,

It seems suddenly this semester the Art department doesn't know what to do with their waste from painting and photography courses…and now my department is going to manage it.

If there is anybody out there who has experience with this, I would greatly appreciate it. I know how to manage their initial influx of "unknown" and "mixed" waste, I was just hoping someone might already have a program on hand for some organizational guidance. In other words I really don't want to reinvent a brick….
