A brief description of steps taken to ensure that e-waste is recycled responsibly, workers’ basic safety is protected, and environmental standards are met:
The University of Saskatchewan has a policy that outlines the responsibilities and procedures regarding the disposal of surplus assets. Part of that policy outlines the disposal of electronic equipment.
A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for institution-generated materials:
Electronic materials that are processed through the surplus assets program are diverted through re-use programs that could possibly extend their life cycle. This primarily focuses on computers which flow through Computers for Kids, Computers for Schools or similar programs. Any material not processed through these programs are diverted to SWEEP (Saskatchewan Waste Electronic Equipment Program) program which is operated through the Saskatchewan Association of Rehabilitation Centers (SARC).
A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for student-generated materials :
Currently, there is no campus program organized or operated for student generated electronic waste although they do have access to the SWEEP (Saskatchewan Waste Electronic Equipment Program) program which is operated through the Saskatchewan Association of Rehabilitation Centers (SARC).
