A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for institution-generated materials:
Chatham University recycles all institution-generated materials with two different organizations that refurbish the electronic materials and donate them to schools and other non-profit organizations.
Any non-reusable materials go to an electronics recycler that is a signatory of the Basel Action Network protocol, and is permitted & bonded through the PADEP permit 081 for electronic de-manufacturing.
