Hello Colleagues. I just wanted to remind everyone that *tomorrow, March
18th is Ecyclemania on campus. From 2-6 pm, you can drop off electronics
(anything with a plug or that runs on batteries) at 3 locations, free of
charge:*

·         The Allen Hall turn-around

·         Ikenberry Commons at Euclid Avenue

·         The Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (ISTC) at 1 Hazelwood
Drive (the only site with a vehicle drop-off, behind the building)



Remember, this is for *personal* electronics only. *NO UNIVERSITY-OWNED
ELECTRONICS ACCEPTED.*



In an effort to reduce traffic congestion that is sometimes created by such
an event, volunteers will help pick material using bicycles and carts
(E-cyclers). Buildings participating in the event can begin collecting
e-waste on the morning of March 18th. The E-cyclers will pick up that
material and transport it to one of the collection sites. E-waste that is
too heavy to transport by cart should be delivered to the ISTC vehicle
drop-off.



All e-waste collected will be recycled by a vendor that is R2 and E-steward
certified. Weight of the material collected will be reported as part of the
national Recyclemania competition. See Recyclemania.org for more
information.



*If you have questions about the event, please contact Bart Bartels at
bbartel at illinois.edu <bbartel at illinois.edu> or 217-244-7572 <217-244-7572>.*



Also, *if you missed the last Sustainable Electronics Campus Consortium
Meeting on campus electronics procedures, you can view a recording and see
associated documents at*
http://www.sustainelectronics.illinois.edu/services/campusconsortium.cfm.
The documents listed include a PDF of slides highlighting community
recycling resources for personally-owned electronics. *Note also that
Champaign County will be hosting an electronics collection event on April
12 from 8AM-noon at Parkland College. For more information, call
217-328-3313 <217-328-3313>.*



The next consortium meeting will be in early April; watch your inboxes for
more information soon.



Best wishes,
