A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for institution-generated materials:
Computers are purchased and distributed within a three year replacement schedule. At the end of three years, the computers are assessed to determine if the unit is still usable or if it has reached the end of its useful life. If still functional, the computer is redeployed; if not the computer is sent to Redemtech for recycling or donation.
