This past fiscal year, the IT Equipment Recovery Program recycled 200,466 pounds of electronic equipment, our largest fiscal year to date! Since the University’s IT department began managing the program in 2012, a total of 548,400 pounds has been recycled.
Amy Ariola of University IT stated, “We have received much assistance from the Medical Center Chief Information Security Officer (Mike Pinch and his team) helping to set and communicate safe recycling standards for electronics in the Medical Center.”
Recycling electronics is easier than ever at the University. Simply make a request online at www.rochester.edu/it/recycle/ and items are usually picked up within a couple of days. There is no minimum number of items required for this service. Or, items can be dropped off at the UR Tech Store in the Medical Center (Room 7220B) Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. All hard drives are destroyed at a secure University location.
