Recycling Computer Equipment on Campus

August 9, 2008
Written by Joanne Jennings

Computer equipment, including laptop batteries, monitors, and circuit boards contain hazardous materials, and procedures are in place at the University of Delaware to recycle this equipment. 

For example, to have your old laptop battery picked up for recycling, complete the chemical waste pickup request form at http://www.udel.edu/OHS/wastepickup.html. For a list of how to recycle other computer equipment, visit the Occupational Health & Safety website at http://www.udel.edu/OHS/comprecycle.html.

Remember to contact OET at oet-help@udel.edu to erase all data on hard drives, if you plan to send computers to Surplus.
