A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for institution-generated materials:
ESF’s e-waste program at the institution works as follows: Individuals or groups on campus wishing to dispose of damaged or out-of-date electronics submit a work order to request their removal. The campus grounds crew picks up the electronic devices and stores them in a temporary storage area on the main campus. Once this temporary storage becomes full, the electronics are transported via a college vehicle to a storage barn at the Lafayette Rd Experiment Station. Here, the grounds crew palletizes and shrink wraps pallets of electronics in preparation for transportation to the recycling facility. Once they collect approximately 10 pallets of electronics, the grounds crew contacts the Environmental Health & Safety Office to schedule an electronics pickup.

A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for student-generated materials :
The students participate in the “Imagine It Recycling” program. “Imagine It Recycling” is a program where colleges are given collection boxes for students to place old cell phones, printer cartridges or other e-waste. Once the boxes fill up, they are sent to “Imagine It Recycling” company, and the students receive money for the e-waste.
