Electronic property at the end of its usable life should go through WVU’s surplus property system. Items that are not sold through surplus are recycled through a third-party vendor.
WVU has four textile bins open for 24/7 recycling of clothing and linens.
WVU recycles two streams of metal outside of daily recycling like aluminum and steel cans. Many furniture items and equipment that contain metal can be recycled and pick-ups should be requested through the WVU surplus process.
Surplus Pick-Up RequestConstruction metal, fabrication scraps, and irregular pieces of metal should NOT go into recycling dumpsters on campus as they can damage WVU trucks. These materials can be picked up by putting in a request with the Facilities Services Desk.
