Disposal Process – Please Do Not Take Chairs to the Lower-Level Facilities Suite
Work with your organizational contact to determine if a piece of furniture should be repaired or disposed of.
Single office chairs may be disposed of by sending an email to warffacilities@warf.org
to request assistance. Please provide office/workstation location for pick-up and include a sign on the chair that states “OK to Trash”.
Alternatively, single office chairs may be taken to the Loading Dock directly for disposal. Please include a sign on the chair that states “OK to Trash”.
Multiple office chairs and other furniture should be disposed of by submitting a work order to Physical Plant Customer Service (PPCS) with a request for Campus Services to remove and dispose of these items.
