Electronic waste?

Many of us have unused printers, old monitors, broken computer mice or keyboards, and other electronic waste sitting in empty offices or in a storage closet somewhere. But computers are not like fine wine - they do not get better with age. So if you're hanging on to some old equipment, I encourage you to dispose of this safely.

I wanted to pass along this note from Janel: if departments have any electronic waste, the Recycling Deparment will be doing pick-ups next week (7/2/12). Please call 42900 and place a work order.

Of course, if you have old computers, dead laptops, external hard drives, or other electronics that contain any kind of storage (usually a hard drive) please drop that off instead with Computing Services. We need to be sure that these drives are securely wiped before they leave the University's care. We can do that for you - and we'll take care of disposing that equipment, too. Just call us, and arrange a time to bring it down.
