Rentals: Clearstreams, Dumpsters & Rolloffs

Construction and renovation projects, events and even departmental clean outs can generate a lot of waste. University personnel can use the Dearstyne Convenience Site at no cost if they are able to transport the material. For larger amounts of bulk material, Waste Reduction and Recycling also offers the following rentals to support your departmental needs:

A clearstream is a collapsible bin used for event waste (Visit Zero Waste Events for more info.) Comprised of lightweight metal frames, clearstreams are used when your event may fill the outdoor walkway bins or interior recycling and waste sites that are designated for general use. Clearstreams can be rented as a set: one set includes a collapsible frame, lid and bags for each type of material – landfill, recycling, and compost.

Clearstream event bins are free of charge for events hosted by a recognized NC State Student Organization and small events hosted by NC State Departments. If applicable, there may be charges for clearstreams at large campus events.
