A brief description of steps taken to ensure that e-waste is recycled responsibly, workers’ basic safety is protected, and environmental standards are met:
All electronics waste is collected and shipped to a local Recycler (http://www.retroworks.net/). We have toured their facility and are provided with a certificate of recycling.
A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for institution-generated materials:
Institutionally-generated materials are brought back to a central location. Materials are then evaluated for re-use. Units that are still useable are wiped of information and donated to local organizations and schools. Parts are used for repairs. All materials not being used for donation or reuse are recycled.
A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for student-generated materials :
Students are able to recycle anything with a cord by bringing them to the campus recycling center. All materials are sent to a computer recycler.
