Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Data for FY 2005 (Academic year 2004/2005; July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2005) was gathered from: http://www.sustainableunh.unh.edu/biodiv_ed/wasteprocess.html#data
Data for performance year was collected from IWM Annual Report (June 2010) using FY2009 data.
The University Office of Sustainability provides information on their website about off-campus recycling and proper disposal of cell phones and other electronic materials.
University System of NH employees can also donate and sell used electronic and other items through USNH Surplus: www.unh.edu/purchasing/surplus/index.html. Also, the UNH Office of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) manages the disposal of scrap electronics for UNH Durham faculty and staff. Scrap electronics includes CPUs, monitors, televisions, keyboards, mice, and more.
As for ink cartridges, UNH Facilities holds all the printer cartridges until they have a truckload (1 ton pickup), then delivers them to Reliable Technologies in Manchester, NH. The company sorts through the cartridges, keeps those that can be recycled (paying UNH for these) and destroying those that cannot. To create fewer cartridges in the first place, UNH Printing Services offers a “Refill, Don’t Landfill” program in which cartridges can be refilled with ink through Cartridge World.
