Facilities and Faculty Services

In order to have equipment picked up and disposed of, a Disposal Request Form must be completed and attached to your request. Once requests are authorized, they are printed off by Distribution Services. (Additional information can be found on the Disposal Request form.)

To fill out the Disposal Request Form:

An Equipment Clearance Form is required when disposing of lab equipment. This form may be obtained from Distribution Services. Once documentation is received, disposals will be picked up by Distribution Services within three working days.

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE UNWANTED EQUIPMENT IN THE CORRIDORS

Unwanted or broken computer equipment (computers, monitors, printers and peripherals) will now be recyled by Distribution Services. Submitting a disposal request form will no longer be required. Faculty and staff can bring this equipment to Distribution Services or arrange for pick up.

All computer equipment received will be sent out and shredded, so removing the hard drives prior to disposal will no longer be required. However, if your computer equipment has been in a research lab, you may be required to clean the items prior to drop off and fill out an Equipment Clearance Form. This form may be obtained from Distribution Services.

In addition, Distribution Services also recycles used toner cartridge and batteries. All used toner cartridges can be dropped off in the recycle cage located outside Distribution Services. Used/dead batteries may be dropped off at the front counter in Distribution Services.
