Disposal of old equipment

Recycle:                                    

• Your old computer
  Properly disposing of your computer helps prevent mercury, cadmium, lead, and hazardous chemicals from leaching into our environment.
  All University computer equipment is sent to the Surplus Office for proper Disposal.
  Both Dell and Apple will accept your old machine when you purchase a new one.
  Personal computers and peripherals can be donated to World Care
  Wipe Hard Drives before disposing of PC's - use free software such as Darik's Boot and Nuke or BC Wipe.
  

   

• Ink and toner cartridges.
  Cartridges can be refilled, re-manufactured, and re-used. Many re-manufacturers will take your used cartridge, refurbish it, and refill it.
  Re-manufactured toner and ink cartridges are considerably less than what they would cost new
  Facilities Management Ink and Toner cartridges are recycled by your area supply person.
  Hewlett-Packard will also recycle ink cartridges
  
  
• Paper.
  Whenever possible, use post-consumer recycled-content paper.
  The cost and quality differences of recycled to virgin paper today is negligible.
  And remember to re-use blank sides of used paper for inkjet printing and scratch paper.
