Electronics

Electronic waste can be any discarded electronic product or device that is at its end of life, usefulness or is not needed anymore.  

Most common are:

• Laptops, computers, towers
• Keyboards, mouse, monitor
• Printers, scanners, faxes
• TVs, gaming systems
• VCR and DVD players; hard drives and memory sticks
• Copiers
• Microwave, toaster ovens, kitchen appliances
• Coffee makers and radios
• Tablets and phones
• Extensions cords and power strips
• Circuit boards
• Cords, chargers, and other wires
• Smoke detectors

Anything that has an electrical cord or powered with batteries could be considered electronic waste.

All these items need to be disposed of properly, even if they don’t work anymore.  For items with UDit tags, complete a tagged UDit Equipment Retrieval form. All UDit tagged items are disposed of following Department of Defense and US EPA guidelines.

For all other electronics, make sure to fill out the UD recycling service request form for pickup.  UD Recycling works with UDit and Surplus to recycle electronic waste, if the item can be re-used or sold.

Please don’t throw away, even if it is broken.
