A brief description of steps taken to ensure that e-waste is recycled responsibly, workers’ basic safety is protected, and environmental standards are met:
•PLU collects the electronic items that students/staff/faculty no longer have use for.
•If it is able to be reused, it goes into the Surplus store (See Tier 2 Credit 1) or is donated to Goodwill.
•SM Metals is a local metal recycling plant that PLU has sent their non-reusable metal materials (until this year), because we do not have the technology on campus to recycle it ourselves. We are currently in the process of finding a new place to send these materials, as SM Metals is no longer operating.
•In November of 2009, PLU brought in TruRecycling, an electronics recycling company that took electronics from community members for free
