A brief description of steps taken to ensure that e-waste is recycled responsibly, workers’ basic safety is protected, and environmental standards are met:
The University of San Diego is home to the only non-profit e-waste collection center in San Diego, the University of San Diego Electronics Recycling Center (ERC).
The center is staffed by students and professional staff who are trained on how to safely process the waste, such as PPE use. The waste that can be reused is sold and the remainder is recycled through CalMicro, a professional E-waste disposal company.

A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for institution-generated materials:
The Electronic Recycling Center center collects and recycles e-waste of the institution, students and the wider community. There is a pick-up service to pick-up e-waste from residences and businesses. Because the E-Waste Collection Center is a registered non-profit, any donations are tax-deductible, which provides the residence or business an additional incentive to ‘donate’ their unwanted E-waste.
