Cleaning out an office is not an easy task. UW Recycling has some guidelines to help you get rid of your unwanted items.

Following these procedures help your department:

  • stay compliant with surplus and waste regulations
  • avoid messes that could impact other occupants’ work
  • keep custodians safe by not overloading the waste bins they collect

…and minimize items that could be sent to the landfill!
