A new environmental regulation became effective February 24, 2003 in EPA Region III (including DC, VA, and MD) that encourages the GW community to recycle, rather than dispose of as waste, all electronic materials (e.g., computers, monitors, televisions, copy machines, cellular phones, fax machines, and other related office equipment). As a result, the University established an Ecycle (short for electronic recycling) Working Group to develop a long-term and cost effective solution for managing these materials.

The purpose of this web page is to provide you with information regarding the handling of any electronic materials. We ask that you visit this web page for future updates, as the ecycling program evolves.

More detailed information and procedures on the recycling of electronic materials will be forthcoming from the University's Ecycle Working Group in the near future.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter,

The University Ecycle Working Group
