Has the institution implemented a campus-wide inventory system to facilitate the reuse of laboratory chemicals?:
A brief description of the program:
The "Free Chemicals" Chemical Redistribution Program has been active since 1982. Currently it uses a web based listing of available chemicals and a mail-in order form. DEHS delivers directly to the lab. At the time of submitting requests for chemical waste collection, labs can check that containers are recyclable. Often the most valuable caches of reusable chemicals are found when researchers leave the University. Staff will then review the materials and have set aside unopened containers of high value or commonly used chemicals for storage at the Thompson Center. Chemicals are listed on the website and can be ordered by other labs for delivery.
