Reuse @ LBNL
November 2025
Reuse @ LBNL is a new program that allows property to be made available for reutilization by Berkeley Lab employees prior to disposition at the Excess Property & Storage facility.
By way of Reuse @ LBNL, Lab employees can post property they have available for reuse to the email list. Just snap a photo and send an email to the list. Colleagues at the Lab, who have signed up for Reuse @ LBNL email notifications, can request and coordinate collection of property they wish to acquire via email.
By subscribing to the list, Lab employees benefit from seeing property that is immediately available… and for free.
The overall benefit of the Reuse @ LBNL email list is that the Lab community can collectively do more science with items already at the Lab, and prevent them from being disposed of unnecessarily.
For more information, please visit Reuse @ LBNL .
Note: This is an “internal use only” program. Property appearing in Reuse @ LBNL emails is for official use at Berkeley Lab only, and not for private use.
