A brief description of steps taken to ensure that e-waste is recycled responsibly, workers’ basic safety is protected, and environmental standards are met:
Our custodial staff is trained to collect e-waste materials and store them in preparation for off-campus pick up.
Computers and phones are first "sanitized" for sensitive information and relocated to reuse in new locations to the extent feasible.
A reputable commercial dealer is used for transport and final disposition of all e-waste to ensure compliance with worker safety and environmental regulations.
A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for institution-generated materials:
We use Regional Computer Recycling and Recovery for computers and electronics. Custodians are altered to electronic waste; the materials are processed by OIT and stored for pick up. We use North Eastern Recycling for lamps, ballasts and batteries. Custodians deliver bulb and ballasts to storage facilities.
Drop off buckets for batteries are available in key central facilities (e.g., the student union). When buckets are full, custodians transport batteries to storage before pick up.
