Batteries and Universal waste

SINGLE USE ALKALINE BATTERIES (AA, AAA, button…):

Don't throw your old single use batteries in the trash! Green U is partnering with E Scrap, a local recycler with 25 years of experience in the field. New single use battery recycling bins will be installed on campus in the Fall, but you can already place a pickup order.

Don't keep large quantities of single use batteries. Place your order once you reach a maximum of 30 batteries. Coral Gables/RSMAS: Call 305.284.8520 or contact greenu@miami.edu./ Miller SOM campus: Call (305) 2431052 or contact FKaniews@med.miami.edu 

For personal items or hard to recycle items, you may be able to find drop off locations in Miami-Dade: insert your zip code and your key word on the RecycleNation website

UNIVERSAL WASTE
(bulbs, rechargeable batteries, power surges, mercury containing equipment):

You need to download this Chemical Disposal Form, place it on top of the items, keep a copy.
Then, email a scan/picture of the form to UM Environmental Health and Safety. to schedule a pickup
