The Resource Recovery program serves as an important function to help us conserve University resources, support sustainability efforts, and safely dispose of electronics and other items.
Check Resource Recovery first if you need office items for your department at no cost to your department. You can often find items such as filing cabinets, chairs, desks and tables, computers, and whiteboards.
Find a new home for the office items you can no longer use. Contact Resource Recovery first, and review the University’s Resource Recovery program policies for more details.
Properly dispose of broken, outdated, and unusable items. We will determine the correct, and lawful way, to dispose of your items.
For more information, please see the Resource Recovery Program website or the Resource Recovery Program Guide.
