Staff-issued cell phones which are no longer functioning properly are returned to the provider for recycling.

Materials are recycled through 5R Processors, which has R2 and ISO 14001 certifications. As they note on their website, "R2 and ISO 14001 certifications officially recognize 5R Processors as a responsible, environmentally conscious electronics-waste recycler in which all methods of recycling are in conformance with strict R2 and ISO 14001 guidelines."

A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for student-generated materials :
Beginning in 2011, an annual spring "E-waste Sweep" encourages students (as well as faculty and staff) to recycle their personal electronics rather than send them to a landfill. For these events, we also use 5R Processors.
In addition, batteries can be deposited for proper disposal at the front desk of the campus center or any of the residence halls or the library.
