Electronic Equipment Recycling

With the introduction of the SWEEP program by SARCAN, there have been several questions regarding this new program and if departments can take advantage of this service directly rather than going through Surplus Assets for the disposal of University owned equipment.

As per U of S Policy No. 4.10.03, University assets must be sold or transferred in a fair, accountable and efficient manner. Facilities Management, Logistics Management is solely responsible for the processing, recording, accounting and handling of disbursements of University surplus assets.

Logistics Management continues to develop partnerships that engage the University and community in environmentally responsible programs. Computers, monitors, televisions or other electronic equipment disposed of through the surplus assets program are first recycled in a fashion to renew or extend the life of the assets supporting community based programs. Any items not suitable or reusable are recycled in a responsible manner through various agencies including the Sarcan SWEEP program in an attempt to keep these items out of the landfill.
