OP-20: Electronic Waste Recycling Program

On campus organizations such as Sustain Mizzou safely organizes, educates, and executes e-waste recycling efforts while abiding by all environmental standards. Sustain Mizzou employs the help of other on and off campus organizations such as: * - Falling Whistles * - Missouri Student Unions * - Environmental Health & Safety * - Tiger Tech * - MU Sustainability Office * - MidMO Recycling * - Greener Libraries Council A collaborative effort is made to adhere to the following mission: * LOCAL ACTION: Collect electronic waste at sites on campus and send it to get recycled in an environmentally responsible manner. * EDUCATION: Educate students, faculty and staff on the environmental and social justice implications of electronics through visual displays, film screenings and online promotion. * COOPERATION: Cooperate with other establishments and groups on campus and in the community to safely achieve these goals and implement collection and education year-round. The Missouri e-cycle Standards, also known as MOEST, are followed and were developed to identify common sense strategies that define best management practices for collecting, processing and transporting e-scrap in Missouri that protects the environment. E-cycling businesses that adopt these standards are committed to the responsible management of end-of-life electronic equipment, components and materials.
