A brief description of steps taken to ensure that e-waste is recycled responsibly, workers’ basic safety is protected, and environmental standards are met:
For compliance, safety and liability purposes, college-owned and college-generated materials for disposal are processed through the appropriate college waste streams. All campus service areas are made aware of e-waste and the process for responsible management. Service areas contact Facilities Mgmt/Sustainability Office to request removal of spent equipment.
FM meets with the owner to identify and remove e-waste such as computers and peripherals from the service area. Equipment is stored in a secure area until which time a community-wide surplus asset sale is scheduled. Equipment not sold in a given time are processed through local redistribution centers such as Dell/Goodwill ReConnect. Equipment not suitable for redistribution are processed through a universal waste hauler for recycling and safe disposal.
Cell phones, iPods, and accessories are collected throughout campus via convenient collection drop boxes.

A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for institution-generated materials:
For compliance, safety and liability purposes, college-owned and college-generated materials for disposal are processed through the appropriate college waste streams. The College contracts with two Michigan companies--one for the recycling of universal waste and another for materials of a sensitive nature that require data destruction before reuse or recycling and have potential as hazardous waste.

A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for student-generated materials :
Cell phones, iPods, and accessories are collected throughout campus via convenient drop boxes. Because of the cost of managing student-generated equipment such as computers and peripherals, the college does not directly handle their recycling. However, student outreach displays and information tables are made available throughout the academic year to create awareness of universal waste. Students receive information on how, what, and where to recycle e-waste within their local communities. Students have also have access to special event programs where e-waste is collected. They may also make inquiries via email at sustainability@delta.edu.
