A brief description of steps taken to ensure that e-waste is recycled responsibly, workers’ basic safety is protected, and environmental standards are met:
Recycled electronics go through a company called RecycleForce, which is a part of Workforce-Inc, which aims to support people in transitional job positions. The Service Center and Facilities are responsible for materials to be recycled responsibly.
A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for institution-generated materials:
DePauw University has a program called Community Technology Enhancement Program (CTEP). As DPU-owned machines are deemed either broken or out-of-date, they are either sent to CTEP or placed on palettes, wrapped, and picked up by Facilities Management for further disposal.
A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for student-generated materials :
We do not currently have a program to recycle students' electronics. There is a student project assessing e-waste recycling on campus and how we can expand it to student-generated materials.
