The IPF was the result of a 1992 renovation of the old Lawrence Riding Arena. The OWM office, the IPF and the Surplus Property Barn are all located adjacent to one other at 151 Tillson Farm Rd. IPF is an abbreviation for Intermediate Processing Facility. The UMass IPF does not sort mixed containers or paper but it does sort other types of recyclables, bales cardboard and otherwise aggregates recyclables into truck load quantities for cost-effective transport. For simplicity, the IPF is frequently just referred to as the Recycling Facility.
Tours are available on request.

Fourth , look for the first Collegian issue of the fall and the spring semesters for a full page recycling guide. By the year 2002, trash will have to transferred out of town at greater cost to the University due to the closure of the town landfill.
