As part of our end of the year move-out efforts, the Office of Sustainability and Green Team will be hosting a SECOND annual E-Waste collection drive on Monday, April 29 from 10:00am to 2:00pm on the quad. Please bring your old, broken or unwanted electronics to the event.
We are working with a new vendor this time, and TVs are accepted with no reservation or additional cost required! You can drop off anything that has a plug! See this list for commonly accepted items.
Please refer to the attached map for location specifics and traffic flow details if you plan to drive through to drop off your e-waste items.
If you have an unusual item and are wondering if it can be collected, please email green@wpi.edu and we can check for you.
What are the steps to assure data privacy?
ECER has a certified data destruction process that conforms and exceeds legislative requirements and takes pride in tight security from the moment they receive the computers and electronics until the moment they are processed.
To prevent any concern of devices with personal information being taken without the user's knowledge or consent, student helpers and assistants will be prohibited from searching through the electronics for items that might have value in some way. Our volunteers will be diligent this year to prevent items from being taken from the collection containers.
