Lead Vests and Other Lead

Lead is a great item to recycle and keep out of the landfill. UK Recycling is able to capture all styles of lead, whether it is a lead vest that does not pass quality test or a lead door. However, all lead must be cleared by Radiation Safety prior to recycling.

If you have lead to recycle, please contact Radiation Safety at radsafe@uky.edu or call them at 859-323-6308 to begin the process of properly disposing of the materials.
