How do I get rid of old electronics (e.g. computers)?
Electronics may contain hazardous components (e.g. lead). Therefore, all electronics must be separated from the general trash and placed into a designated area under the direct control of the generator (no hallway storage) for collection by Engineering and Maintenance. Electronics are then sent off-site for recycling. All electronics must be clearly labeled with a dated, removable sign ìto be recycled.î Request a collection by contacting Engineering and Maintenance: http://maintenanceexpress.med.cornell.edu. Environmental Health and Safety will pay for the recycling cost. However, departments must cover Engineering and Maintenance charges to move equipment to the storage facility. See the 
Surplus Electronics Recycling EHS update for more information.
