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 computer equipment is first sent to ITS to ensure that University privacy is maintained. All electronic waste is removed by Buildings and Grounds and taken to a holding area on each campus. Accumulated waste is picked up by an "e-stewards" certified recycler.

Members of Pace's sustainability committee (GreenPace) conducted thorough interviews and site visits with potential contractors before contracting with a vendor that met our sustainable criteria.
