Recycling Policies and Procedures

We recycle all used printer cartridges and batteries on campus. Please send all used inkjet, LaserJet, and copier cartridges, along with any Alkaline and rechargeable batters to Surplus. All items can be sent to 142 University Services via campus mail.

  • Provide opportunities for reuse of surplus items by UW-Stout campus departments.
  • Provide opportunities for the general public to purchase surplus property at public sales.
  • Provide a centralized recycling location for all types of batteries and printer cartridges.
  • Be a responsible environmental steward for the campus by finding reuse and recycling markets for surplus property.
  • Attempt to create a "zero" waste surplus operation.
