E-Waste

E­-waste bins are repurposed filing cabinets from campus! Feel good recycling your electronic waste when you drop it off in our repurposed E­-waste bins!

Bin Locations:

• Greene – 3rd floor, right coming off elevator
• Zsr – Directly across from circulation desk
• Benson – 2nd floor outside of food court. Turn left at the bottom of the stairs
• Reynolda – 1st floor outside of the Green Room
• Farrell – Basement level in cutout beside sweet A08
• UCC. Go through the Northside set of doors, turn right coming out of the elevator lobby. It’s in a work area directly across from the kitchen. It’s got a large open area before the workstations and is on the left side of that space.
• Wakerspace

If faculty, staff, or students have trouble locating or accessing an e-waste recycling bin, they can contact TJ Ezell (ezelltj@wfu.edu) to arrange pick up. We will pick up any device with a battery or electric cord.
