A brief description of steps taken to ensure that e-waste is recycled responsibly, workers’ basic safety is protected, and environmental standards are met:

Saint Louis University has partnered with Clarity Micro to manage e-waste recycling.

Clarity Micro picks up e-waste at your various campus locations. Equipment that cannot be resold goes
directly to the Dcal facility in St. Louis. Dcal is a computer-recycling center that is registered with both the EPA and the State of Missouri Department of Natural Resources and meets all their respective requirements.

Dcal's St. Louis location has a 57,000 square foot facility which features a large shredder for computer, hard drives, and other electronic components. They also disassemble CRT and Computer monitors and the leaded glass is sent to a smelter for proper disposal.
