A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for institution-generated materials:
Users having surplus equipment call the Help Desk to request a pick up of equipment. The requesting department is given an "Equipment Transferred to IT Department" receipt and the equipment is reviewed for functionality and age. The form is then completed with the disposition of the property as to it being e-wasted or cascaded. E-wasted equipment is transferred to a gaylord and when it is full the recyclers pick it up for disposal.

A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for student-generated materials :
SOU currently offers an electronic waste recycling program for student-generated materials through the Ecology Center of the Siskiyous (ECOS). ECOS keeps an office in the basement of the student union and takes e-waste from students at no charge, making drop-offs to the local transfer station as necessary. ECOS understands what can and cannot be collected, and is educated about the final destination of all e-waste taken to the transfer station.
