What We Do
E‑Waste Management
We ensure that old computers, printers, laptops, and other electronic devices are handled responsibly. Our process includes:
- Pickup of old equipment
- Secure sanitization through the IT Department
- Environmentally compliant disposal following state regulations
- A small fee (approximately $5 per computer unit) to support transportation and offsite storage
- Specialized items such as refrigerators may have additional disposal fees depending on materials involved.
To request a pickup, please review the disposal process and form through the E-Waste Management site, and submit a work order with item details, location, and your department speedtype. Most requests are completed within two weeks.
