E-Waste Recycling Day
In May 2021, the Sustainability Office is kicked off a semi-annual event to collect electronic waste (E-waste) items from students, faculty, and staff in an easy and streamlined manner. Our next drive will be in 2023. Members of the college community can bring in their broken electronics, batteries, old devices, and other electronic items that cannot be traditionally landfilled or recycled due to their toxic chemical contents. Our Ewaste collector, EWASTE+, will be picking up the items from this event.

The 2021 event will be hosted on May 6th, from 12:00-5:00 PM in the Falstaffs Parking Lot, located between Falstaffs and the Annex building. Please email any questions to sustainability@skidmore.edu.
