A brief description of steps taken to ensure that e-waste is recycled responsibly, workers’ basic safety is protected, and environmental standards are met:
Departments are encouraged to review the list of surplus equipment available on Surplus Property's website before purchasing new equipment.
Departments are encouraged to not stockpile and/or store equipment for extended periods of time and to send such equipment to the Surplus Warehouse so that the equipment can be made available for other departments to actively use.
Departments are encouraged to perform preventative maintenance on equipment to sustain its useful life.
Through this effort, the University reduces the unnecessary purchase of electronic equipment that is already available from the Surplus Warehouse, as well as encouraging the re-use of available equipment suitable for other purposes.
Surplus Property will not sell or donate electronic equipment (working or non-working) in bulk unless the buyer has been approved as a recycler by Environmental Health and Safety and vendor pricing has been approved by Asset Management.

We have Cartridges for Kids collection boxes in a handful of locations. Electronics recycling is concentrated in student housing for the end of the academic year. At the end of the academic year, electronics recycling is included with the Spring Check-out Recycling Project in some manner. It varies slightly from year-to-year.
