Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) and Environmental & Site Services (E&SS) are partnering with the campus community to encourage cleanouts of cluttered storage areas, offices, shops, and labs. The goal is to provide support to anyone looking to get rid of old furniture, equipment, file cabinets, paper records, books, electronics, etc. that are no longer in use and are taking up space.
Current Cleanout Day Schedule:
- July 15th MRC, Cogswell, and Polymer (All three buildings will be serviced at the MRC Loading Dock)
- July 17th CII (CII Loading Dock)
- July 24th West Hall (Small Parking Lot)
During a Cleanout Day event, there will be an information table staffed by volunteers from your building, Finance, EHS, and DotCIO. These volunteers will help you sort your waste into the appropriate collection area and be able to provide hazardous waste labels, offer tagged asset disposal guidance, and answer questions. Cleanout Days are held from 10:00am to 2:00pm at the loading dock of the building hosting the event.
EHS and E&SS will provide collection areas for the most common types of clutter found on our campus including:
- General trash roll-off container
- General recycling roll-off container
- Scrap metal recycling roll-off container
- Battery collection area
- Electronic waste collection area
- Confidential document collection area
