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: Benson Center (rotunda outside food court), Worrell (in room 1208), ZSR (outside room 225), Greene Hall (outside 3rd floor elevator), Farrell Hall (basement) and 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.
