Additionally, the Depot is unable to accept equipment that is hazardous.  The Depot tests equipment which is then provided to educational institutions (K-12, community colleges, 4-year colleges, universities, and community labs) for use in education and research. Materials that are working and non-hazardous but still not acceptable to educational institutions may be recycled, sold, or discarded by the Depot.

We are proud to offer equipment recycling for small, broken equipment!

Our service is CalRecycle, DTSC and CA EPA Certified.
