A brief description of steps taken to ensure that e-waste is recycled responsibly, workers’ basic safety is protected, and environmental standards are met:
Our janitorial staff is instructed not to allow electronic waste to be placed in waste bins. It is taken out and left with the department disposing of it with a note that the department must contact General Support Services (GSS).
A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for institution-generated materials:
General Support Services (GSS) takes the items and, if they are still functioning, has IT scrub any memory on the device. It is then offered for sale to the public at our surplus sales.
If the item does not sell, we pay a local business, Total Reclaim, to recycle the items. Total Reclaim has received recognition for assuring that electronics are responsibly recycled.
