Hi.

 

Is there something specific that you are looking for?

 

DRS picks up most anything chemical that is requested for disposal through the campus waste management app: https://www.drs.illinois.edu/Page/RequestAWastePickup

 

All alkaline batteries are trashed.

 

Rechargeable batteries are recycled.

 

Lead acid batteries are taken to the cage on the west side of the Waste Transfer Station.
