Bulk waste
If you produce bulk waste in solid or liquid form, find out more on how to package it properly for disposal.
Waste pickups
If you have waste products that need to be collected, first prepare your inventory to pick up and submit it to us. We will get in touch with you to schedule an appointment. If your building has a waste room, see also our regular pickup schedule across both campuses (your inventory list will still be required).
Recycling
We handle recyclable hazardous materials and other items that cannot be accepted via the university's recycling program, such as batteries, appliances, and various metals.
