Set deconstruction should take place in a careful, organized manner.  If necessary to dispose of set materials, contact Building Services through the Facilities Customer Service Center at 8-8000 and request a 3-yard dumpster.  Specify the location, the date to be dropped off, the date to be picked up, and the contact name and phone number. Your group will not be charged for the dumpster as long as set pieces are cut no larger than 3 ft. by 3 ft.

B. Housekeeping
The facility must be left in good condition after the strike.  All spaces used by a group must be left in good condition, furniture returned to its proper place, etc.  If a group leaves a facility or area in unsatisfactory condition, the individuals responsible may be disciplined and the organization charged for necessary maintenance.  Repeated lack of compliance with regulations may result in loss of recognition for the group by the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students.

C. Chemical Waste Disposal
Most commonly used organic solvents (e.g., acetone, methanol, toluene, mineral spirits, turpentine) and paints are considered hazardous waste and cannot be disposed of with regular trash or poured down the drain.   If you have hazardous waste to be disposed of, contact Environmental Health & Safety at 8-5294 for recommendations and instructions.

Do not leave wastes at chemical waste pick-up sites without first informing EHS.  Be sure all containers are labeled with the words “HAZARDOUS WASTE”, the chemical constituents, and, most importantly, the name and phone number of a person familiar with the waste who can be reached on the day of the pickup.  Waste labels for this purpose are available through EHS.

Please see the Waste Disposal section of the EHS web page for more information on hazardous waste.
