Home electronics recycling 2022

A home electronics recycling event is set for June 9 from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot of Biotech 5 off Plantation Street.

“The last home electronics collection we had on campus was in 2019, so it seems like a good time to do it again,” said Samantha Belisle, an environmental health & safety specialist who is helping organize the event. “If you have old appliances, computers or other unused electronic items piling up at home, this is a great opportunity to have them properly recycled.”

Northeast Material Handling, the School’s vendor for reuse and recycling of electronics and large bulk items, will operate the collection event. Almost any household item that plugs into a wall outlet—computers, radios, DVD players, stereo components, toaster ovens, microwave ovens, vacuum cleaners or window air conditioners—will be accepted. Most items will be accepted for free, however, there will be a $35 charge for television sets of any kind. Computer monitors, both flat screen and CRT will cost $15 each.  View a full list of acceptable items and fees here.
