Scrap Metal
Construction & Demolitian
Vehicle Batteries
  

Scrap metal includes Aluminum, Steel, Copper, other metal under 8 feet. Metals are fully recyclable and valuable. Bring to the Sullivan Roll-off Site between 8AM-11AM and 12PM-3:30PM on Monday through Friday, or haul bulk amounts directly to a local market. Contractors with bulk quantities should make arrangements with an outside vendor.

 This includes concrete, brick, wood, metal, and wiring. Typical construction waste is heavy and has high-embodied energy. Much of this waste is made from valuable resources that are routinely recycled to make common materials like particleboard or metal alloys. C&D material may be delivered to the Sullivan Site roll-offs between 8AM-11AM and 12-3:30PM on Monday through Friday.

Vehicle Batteries may be brought to the Sullivan Roll-off Site between the hours of 8AM-11AM and 12-3:30PM on Monday through Friday.

Tires
Oil and Antifreeze
White Goods & Furniture
  We accept tires from University owned vehicles at our Sullivan Site from 8AM-3:30PM, M-F.
In 1989 only 10% of tires were recycled. In addition to the toxic fumes released when tire piles catch fire, researches have learned that mosquito populations proliferate rapidly in the stagnant puddles that accumulate within. Today 90% of tires are recycled and used as crumb rubber or in items ranging from gym floors to highway asphalt.		   Oil and Anti-Freeze should be taken to EH&S or Motor Pool and collected there. Auto parts stores and shops generally accept used oil for little or no cost.
It is estimated that oil do-it-yourselfers illegally dump over 200 million gallons into drains, the ground, landfills, sawdust or streams every year. The Exxon Valdez spilled 11 million gallons by comparison.		   This includes non-reusable NCSU-owned furniture, refrigerators, microwaves, water heaters, and bulky items. Review Surplus Property guidelines! Non-functioning goods should be brought to the Sullivan Waste Roll-off site between 7:30AM and 3PM Monday-Friday. The Sullivan Roll-offs are not available for bulk contractor waste. Call 515-9882 for details.

  WRR is responsible only for the autoclave waste dumpsters and their respective locations. Please contact EH&S (5-7915) with questions about Autoclave procedures or policy, or consult the NCSU Biological Safety Manual.   Corrugated Cardboard must be broken down and placed inside your area's green cardboard dumpster. Some central sites have been designated as cardboard drop-off sites; however, the cardboard must be broken down and should be tucked behind bins so as not to obstruct usage of central site bins. ABSOLUTELY NO TRASH, including Styrofoam or plastic, is permitted with cardboard.   WRR accepts bagged Styrofoam peanuts for re-use. No Styrofoam, even Styrofoam items bearing the Resin Identification Code #6, can be recycled at NC State University. Students, faculty and staff are strongly encouraged to reduce their usage of Styrofoam products.
