As a sustainability and waste minimization effort, Cornell University maintains a surplus chemical recycling program available for Cornell researchers. *Please note, this program is not open to non-Cornell members.
By using (and helping to promote) the surplus chemical recycling program, you can save money on chemical purchases and help to minimize chemical waste.
Many of the chemicals available through the surplus chemical recycling program are in containers that are unopened or in very good condition. Chemicals available in the surplus chemical recycling program are FREE of charge!
If you have any chemicals that you would like to donate to the surplus chemical recycling program, then please send an email to Brenda Coolbaugh. Please only donate chemicals that are in their original containers, unopened, or in very good condition with the labels intact and are likely to be used in other areas on campus.
