Part II: What does MSU do with its E-Waste?
Part III: How do I get rid of my E-Waste?
One of the questions I get asked most frequently is where do I take my E-Waste? In this post we'll go over some of the options that are available to those looking to properly dispose of E-Waste.
Many cities have a few days out of the year in which they do E-Waste pick up. You can contact your local Public Service Department and find out if your city offers this service and when it is held. There is usually a small fee depending on what you want to recycle.
There are also some companies that are offering a "Take Back" program. For a list of companies that have these programs and how to get in contact with them please check www.computertakeback.com list of companies that offer this service (PDF, 113 KB) .
The last option is to do a search on the internet to see if anyone near you offers a good recycling program. Make sure you do some research on the recyclers to ensure they are disposing of E-Waste responsibly. A good place to start is at www.computertakeback.com or Basel Action Network (BAN) for a few hints on where to begin researching E-Waste disposal.
Responsible disposal of E-Waste has tremendous environmental benefits and is a great way to Be Spartan Green!
