A brief description of steps taken to ensure that e-waste is recycled responsibly, workers’ basic safety is protected, and environmental standards are met:
SJSU's vendor, Zak Enterprises, has been a leading provider of e-waste recycling services to the greater San Francisco Bay Area since 1993. They are also very concerned about, and their business depends upon, the proper, regulatory-compliant disposal of electronic equipment. All e-waste items are dismantled/torn down at Zak Enterprise’s Santa Clara facility. All of the dismantled e-waste material is disposed of through reputable, long standing vendors and their customers are assured that none of it ends up in a toxic landfill of some third world country. (see www.zakenterprises.com for complete information about their processes including worker information)

All E-waste generated by SJSU Faculty and Staff is picked up by Zak Enterprises, an e waste dismantling company, whose first priority is reuse of an item, followed by refurbishment and reuse if possible, and ultimately disposition through a pledged e-stewards recycler only if these initial two options are not available.
