Chemical Exchange Program Request
Purpose
Gives laboratory personnel the opportunity to remove new and unused chemicals from their laboratory. The advantage of using this service is to help reduce purchasing and disposal costs. Once a request has been submitted, it will be logged in with Environmental Health Safety and Risk Management (EHSRM). Please contact EHSRM for a current inventory of chemical(s).

The following chemicals will not be accepted:
- Expired
