A brief description of steps taken to ensure that e-waste is recycled responsibly, workers’ basic safety is protected, and environmental standards are met:
Since 1998, UWRF has had a program in place to recycle/refurbish all faculty, staff, lab, and department computer components and peripherals, televisions, and fax machines through Universal Recycling Technologies. UWRF has not widely advertised recycling of cables and cords, equipment like digital cameras and camcorders, cell phones and telephones; as a result, these items may occasionally end up in waste containers.
UWRF does not currently have a program in place to handle student-generated electronic waste.
None
A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for institution-generated materials:
