Electronic waste that is generated by HPU is collected by HPU's facilities manager, Rap Craig. Rap collects all electronic equipment and contacts Pacific Corporate Solutions for pick-ups.

Students are sent campus-wide email announcements once or twice a year to inform them that Pacific Corporate Solutions will be on campus to collect and recycle any electronic waste they might need to get rid of. Also, Pacific Corporate Solutions sends a truck to Fort Street Mall (2 blocks from HPU's campus) every other Friday to collect e-waste from local businesses, including HPU students and employees.
