I have some large items (patio furniture, an old swingset) that are probably too damaged to be reused, but I would like to dispose of them. Is there somewhere to dispose of them in KAUST? Is there a way to request transportation of them?
Dear David,
You can arrange collection of large unwanted and/or broken items from your home by contacting the helpdesk on 959 or the Reuse Center by email: recycle@kaust.edu.sa or by phone (012) 808-6543.
Is it possible to drop an old bike there?
Dear Ehab,
If the bike in working condition then yes. The Reuse Center collects any item good enough to be used again.
