A brief description of the program:
The Environmental Health and Safety Program has operated as a centralized, campus-wide surplus chemical inventory and redistribution point for fifteen years. The program maintains a current listing of available materials on their website for labs to request them to be re-distributed to them for use.
Users are advised to return unused chemicals to unit stockrooms or make them available for others to use. Users are also encouraged to check with all campus departmental stockrooms for available materials before purchasing new items. EHS routinely picks up chemicals from across campus and attempts to redistribute them at no cost. Most of the chemicals eligible for redistribution are free and available on a first come, first served basis.
