A brief description of steps taken to ensure that e-waste is recycled responsibly, workers’ basic safety is protected, and environmental standards are met:
Being a State University, some e-waste items are to be disposed of in accordance with state requirements. Senate Bill 1105, Section 2175.126(a) and (b) of the 76th Legislative Session mandates that surplus data processing equipment should be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to become part of the “TDCJ Computer Recovery Program”. Technotrash is small computer ware such as CDs, DVDs, diskettes, audio/video tapes, and small computer components such as mother boards, hard drives, disk drives, etc. You can contact the Office of Sustainability at ext. 20199 and request these items be picked up. They will be picked up at the same time cartridges are picked up. If you have a small quantity that will fit in an envelope, you can put them in campus mail to Office of Sustainability Box 19333. We do not recycle the mouse, the keyboard, cords, speakers, etc.
