Recycling for Good: e-scrap for Camp Good Days Starts May 19

May 19, 2026

The e-scrap for camp electronics recycling initiative starts Tuesday, May 19 in the Integrated Science and Health Sciences Building lobby, near room 116. Items can be dropped off in the large bins set up at any time through Tuesday, June 2.

For nearly a decade, Fisher has participated in this event, collecting about 2,000 pounds of e-waste annually to be recycled, with the proceeds benefiting Camp Good Days and Special Times.

Dr. Michael Boller, associate professor of biology and program director for sustainability, leads the initiative on Fisher’s campus. He shares that the proper disposal of e-waste is important because it allows for usable items to be repurposed; captures non-renewable resources such as rare earth elements and metals contained in electronics to be recycled; and keeps these materials out of the environment to prevent the pollution they cause as they break down.

General items, such as TVs and radios, can be dropped off in the large bins at any time, while CRT TVs and monitors (large glass monitors that are not flat screens) should be put in the bin labeled CRTs.

There is no secure closet for computers and other data-containing devices that can be collected, and donors are encouraged to be mindful of their data security.

For Fisher-owned property (e.g., computers or anything with an inventory tag), please contact OIT for disposal.

Acceptable materials include computers and accessories, mobile devices, office equipment, data center equipment, and much more. Visit the Sunnking website for a full list of acceptable items.

The following items will not be accepted:

Smoke detectors/Carbon monoxide detectors
Devices containing liquid mercury (thermostats, switches, medical devices, thermometers)
Gas-powered equipment
CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes, and cassette tapes
Household hazardous waste
Materials containing liquids
Freon-containing devices/materials (refrigerators, air conditioners, dehumidifiers)
Radioactive materials
PCB containing materials
Large appliances (stoves, washers, dryers, dishwashers)
Batteries (alkaline, wet cell, dry cell)
Broken/bare CRTs
Propane tanks
Wooden speakers
Light Bulbs

There is no cost to recycle televisions, monitors, or other such devices.
