Recycle unusable metal equipment and furniture


Problem: There are leftover large metal pieces from old construction projects crowding your lab; old metal furniture may have reached the end of its life.

Solution: On your way home, stop by central stores and drop off your metal for free in the metal collection dumpster.

Cost: Central stores is not located in the center of campus so it would take a drive to take large metal pieces there. Hiring movers from Central Stores can be expensive, so recruit some volunteers and a departmental pick-up truck.

Benefit: In 2006, UCSB diverted over 200 tons of clean metal from going to the landfill. Finally all that excess metal won’t be crowding your labs and hallways.
