College E-Waste Drive: October 16th-20th
Is your DVD player gathering dust? Is your flip phone a flop? Well, we can help!
The Sustainability Office is organizing an E-waste drive as part of our Waste Reduction Week on campus. E-waste can include anything with electronic components that has reached the end of its useful life. Many of the components of E-waste can be recycled, thereby keeping the toxic parts out of the environment and the non-renewable parts in-use. Bring in any E-waste items from your home or office and we’ll dispose of it safely for you.
Office items that still work may be given a second life through our campus Free Shelf, so please clearly label any broken items as such.
*Please note: RRC equipment with asset tags must be accepted by someone at Shipping & Receiving to ensure they are disposed of properly. Please fill out an Asset Disposal form and email it to Materials Management before handing off the item to staff at Shipping & Receiving.
Please ensure that private data is removed prior to dropping off any personal equipment. Red River College and Powerland (our e-waste collection partner) do not accept liability for data or any other digital content left on your devices.
Any large items such as TV screens can be dropped off directly at Shipping & Receiving.
