Additional Information:

  • Electronic Waste:   Surplus computers and electronic devices are picked up at no charge and processed for UW-Milwaukee departments through a contract with Cascade Asset Management. This enables equipment to be handled in an environmentally responsible manner and ensures any information is securely removed from electronic media.
  • Contact staff in the Environmental Affairs Program if you are interested in discussing safe alternatives to Mercury-containing instruments.
  • Schedule training on UWM's Hazardous Waste procedures for your department.
