Hi, Cecilia,

 

We let DirectBids handle our excess equipment and supplies via auction.  The University receives the proceeds and DirectBids will accept almost anything.  They also come by and pick it up.

 

Best,

EXTERNAL Exercise Caution

Greetings, Cecilia.

 

You may want to discuss this with your waste disposal company.  Sometimes they have sources for donation, depending on what the chemicals are.

 

In Indianapolis, we have a place called Teacher's Treasures that take small equipment and supplies.  Teachers go there and select what they need for their classes, which helps them tremendously.  You may want to see if your city has something similar.

 

Wishing you success,

Dear

It is very difficult to get rid of chemicals unless somebody is looking for exact same material and if he ready to purchase soon, Of course, it it is very old then it needs to be QC to make sure is within the spect. Equipment if they are in working condition might be possible, for eg we at Chirosolve  are looking for Melting point apparatus and HPLC.

Cecilia,

 

Please check with your college legal department as to whether or not you may donate any chemicals.  They may tell you that for liability reasons you may just have to dispose of them according to all local, state and federal regulations per EPA, HAZWOPER,, etc.  If they say it is OK, please make sure that you donate only chemicals in their original, unopened packaging along with a copies of the most current SDS's from the various manufacturers.  I would exclude from the list any chemicals which tend to be unstable due to heat, light, moisture, motion, oxygen, etc. sensitivity or were synthesized at the college and not purchased. 

 

Good Luck!

 

All My Best,

We are building a new Chemistry building (by 2024) which will have more labs but less storage space.  I'm using this transition time to get rid of decades of accumulated chemicals, equipment and supplies (before I send them to Waste or trash).

Can anyone suggest a forum for FREE chemical supplies? I have exhausted the local colleges and high schools.

Thank you!
