Changes to waste disposal on campus

September 13, 2024 -

Looking to dispose of an item on campus, but not sure where to go? Visit the new sustainability intranet site which has a specific waste page dedicated to proper disposal of specific items on campus.

With this new site comes a change in process related to the disposal of office furniture. The Non-Capital Asset Disposal Form will no longer be accepted and instead users are being asked to follow the disposal methods below:

  1. The first maintenance request should include Type of Problem: Refrigeration, Freon.
  2. The second maintenance request should include Type of Problem: General Services, Waste Management and include the freon removal maintenance request reference number in the description.
  • E-waste: Electronic equipment i.e. computers, monitors, mice, keyboards, printers, etc. should be disposed of through the IST decommissioning processes.
  • Non-Capital Asset Furniture: Please submit an online maintenance request.
    • Complete the form by including:
      • Location: Campus, Building, Floor and Room number
      • Type of Problem: General Services, Waste Management
      • Description: quantity and item description (ex: 3 office chairs, 2 desks)
      • Add documents: Upload photos of ALL items, jpeg. files, word document or PDF are all accepted.
      • Please label all items clearly for pick-up.
      • NOTE: If the furniture you are disposing of is large, you will have to submit two maintenance requests - one for disassembly and the other for disposal.

Please note the ReShop is temporarily closed for browsing. Stay tuned for updates on when the ReShop will reopen.
