A brief description of steps taken to ensure that e-waste is recycled responsibly, workers’ basic safety is protected, and environmental standards are met:
Regulated and hazardous wastes including e-waste are collected from departments and disposed of by Environmental Health and Safety using vendors qualified to extract usable components and legally dispose of the remainder. Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) develops and maintains programs aimed at protecting the safety and well-being of the campus community. EHS ensures compliance with local, state and federal statutes and regulations pertaining to health, safety and environmental protection.
On-line tutorials and trainings for Hazardous Materials and Emergency Procedures are available on the EHS website.

Additionally, SDSU hosts bi-annual e-waste recycling days, which are open to the campus and community. Our vendors including All Green Recycling ensure that all of the material that is collected is processed down to the basic commodities in regulated facilities in North America,where workers’ basic safety is protected, and environmental standards are upheld.

A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for institution-generated materials:
SDSU has a campus-wide e-waste recycling program managed through the Office of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS). Campus units may recycle electronic waste by contacting Environmental Health and Safety for pick-up and removal. California legislation requires that campuses recycle e-waste including computers, monitors and television sets. Additionally, common items including fluorescent light tubes, batteries, spray paint canisters, and toner cartridges can be recycled on campus. EHS informs the campus of these programs through the EHS website and through campus news outlets.
