Recycling
Shipping & Receiving assists in coordinating the recycling of materials and equipment,Used Printer Toner Cartridges Recycling:

In an effort to provide a safe method for disposing of used toner cartridges, the University and Office Max have developed a simple guide for removal from campus.

  1. Place the empty printer toner into a box. Place box in an accessible location but not where it might represent a trip hazard or obstacle.
  2. Contact Frank Borrelli (see contact page) with a request to pick up the box with the empty printer toner. State the location of the box (example: Room MSR 273, on the credenza)
  3. A Shipping & Receiving employee will pick up the box within 24 hours. Office Max will then collect all boxes from the Receiving warehouse on a regular basis for recycling.
  4. If a printer toner box is not available for packaging the empty toner, any comparable box will suffice. The empty toner must be in a box to avoid ink spillage onto carpet, clothes, furniture, etc. PLEASE NOTE: Office Max will NOT pick up any toners not in a box, and Facilities Custodial Services will NOT pick up garbage from any trash container that has unboxed toner cartridges.
