Welcome
East Tennessee State University is proud to announce that we will be hosting an eWaste Recycling Event on campus during May. On Wednesday, May 14th through Friday, May 16th, trucks will be available for small businesses and non-profit organizations to bring their materials in for recycling. Saturday May 17th will be targeted for the general public, however materials will be accepted at anytime during the event.
Students
As students leave the ETSU campus at the end of the spring semester, items they wish to recycle will be stored and contributed to the eWaste Recycling Event. Collection boxes will be placed in the main lobby of each residence hall. After commencement, the e-waste will be collected and disposed of during the recycling event.
Sponsor
These Recycling Services are courtesy of Apple, Inc. They have assumed the financial burden of having the 18-wheeler trucks here to load the materials, as well as forklifts, pallets, shrink-wrap and any other necessities. Perhaps one of the most significant contributions is the labor they will provide. They are skilled laborers and have experience in handling heavy objects. No one will need to exit their vehicle upon arriving at the event site. The laborers will do all the unloading, which should reduce any wait time experienced.
ETSU Property
All ETSU property must be disposed of according to university procedures. Do not take ETSU property to the eWaste event for disposal. Complete the necessary form (get it here) and send to Jay Seehorn at Campus Box 70696.
Location
The event will be held on campus in Parking Lot #22a, which is the large one behind Buck's Pizza, running parallel to State of Franklin. All vehicles should enter campus from State of Franklin at the back entrance to the VA, turn right onto Jack Vest Drive, and turn right again to enter Parking Lot #22a.
