Recycling

Oil Filters, Used Oil, Tires, and Batteries

ISU recycles oil filters. EH&S collects the oil filters from the Heating Plant, Transportation Services, Campus Services, other campus locations, and outlying research farms. Not only does this reduce the waste volume entering the landfill, it prevents oil from contaminating groundwater.

Recycling batteries.

EH&S also recycles used oil, tires, and batteries from across campus.

Contact EH&S at ehswwwadm@iastate.edu if you have questions about recycling of oil filters, used oil, tires, or car batteries, or go to the Management of Unwanted Materials Manual.
