Electronic Waste
Program Overview
A three way partnership between the Sustainability Office, the Mohawk College IT Department and the Mohawk Students' Association (MSA). Through this partnership, we have developed two different programs. They are as follows:
Students, Staff and Faculty
On campus Electronic Waste disposal stations providing Students, Staff and Faculty the opportunity to recycle all of their personal electronic waste. MIDA RPM will then pay .05 cents per pound of E-waste collected in the bins. The Sustainability Office & and the MSA will use this small revenue stream to support Student led sustainability initiatives on campus.
IT Department
MIDA RPM will work with the IT Department to recycle all E-waste generated by the College. The price will be set on a per cleanup basis, based on the monthly scrap prices. Collection price to be determined by MIDA RPM and the IT department.
