Timing of free pick up depends on the volume of donation. Materials available to educators on free ticketed Open Houses. Sign-up on the website for notification. Call to inquire regarding premier research equipment that may need repairs. Repair volunteers are needed at Bio-Link. Pick up by special arrangement (no truck).
