SWAP Materials Collection
SWAP collects all reusable, repairable or salvageable surplus equipment
from the UW-Madison campus and state agencies in the Madison area.
SWAP will NOT collect items unsafe to handle nor
intended for recycling or disposal by another State department.
The list below is a guide to what SWAP will collect. If you are
unsure whether or not SWAP should pick-up your materials, contact
SWAP and we will help you.
Computer monitors require a $10.00 recycling fee, which will be charged to your MD account number. Large quantities of monitors must be neatly palletized, on a standard four way pallet, with cardboard between layers, shrink wrapped and the contents clearly labeled to be accepted. CPUs, printers and other computer-related equipment must not be mixed in with monitors or the shipment will be refused. SWAP reserves the right to refuse any drop-offs not accompanied by a Surplus Property Pick-Up Form, or any inappropriate material.
