Welcome to the ChemSwap

The University of Florida Chemical Surplus Exchange Site!

Free Chemicals are waiting to be claimed by UF labs.

Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) is providing a service for UF faculty and lab personnel, the UF ChemSwap. The UF ChemSwap provides a list of free research chemicals currently available to laboratories on the UF main campus and at PK Yonge School. The free chemicals are delivered with an MSDS by an EH&S staff member directly to your lab. All the chemicals are in the original, unopened container.  UF labs can save money and reduce waste by redistributing unwanted chemicals.

If you have an unwanted chemical to donate to the program, submit a chemical waste pickup request to EH&S at http://www.ehs.ufl.edu/hmm/pickups/chempick.asp and indicate in the comments section that the chemicals are for donation to the ChemSwap program.

Listed below are the chemicals currently available.  To request a chemical, call the Waste Management Facility at 392-8400 with the chemical name, quantity you desire, and the delivery location.  An EH&S chemist will deliver the requested chemical.
