A brief description of steps taken to ensure that e-waste is recycled responsibly, workers’ basic safety is protected, and environmental standards are met:
All electronic waste is picked up by the Distribution group and disposed of through Alberta Government Surplus. Alberta Government Surplus uses Alberta Government approved e-waste recyclers.
All surplus electronic waste becomes the responsibility of the Materials Management Department.
First step is for the department to declare item surplus by filling out a Surplus/movement form.
It is then brought to the Distribution warehouse where an ISD representative removes the hard drives and any parts deemed to be reusable (i.e. usb ports, memory cards, speakers etc).
The hard drives are separated and taken to a metal shredder company that shreds the hard drives and recycles the components.
The rest of the computer and parts are then taken to a government approved facility for recycling.
