Batteries: The Department of Environmental Health and Safety collects nickel/cadmium and lead/acid batteries for recycling. To request a battery pickup, please fill out the hazardous waste manifest form. Standard household-sized (A, AA, AAA, C, D, 9-volt) batteries are not collected for recycling and may be disposed of in the trash.
Other items such as newspapers, magazines, cardboard, and printer/toner cartridges.
A large roll-off container for household recycling is available east of the Psychiatric Research Institute (PR) building. Any materials can be brought from home, with the exception of batteries, and deposited in this roll-off container for recycling.
