Cartridges for Recycling
Request Pickup—Cartridges for Recycling
We pick up used toner cartridges for proper recycling. Recycling is good for the environment and beneficial to the University. Proceeds are used to offset costs associated with recycling old University computers and other electronic equipment. Please follow these steps for cartridge pickups:
- After removing a new cartridge, insert your used cartridge inside the box and write RECYCLE on the box.
- Complete and submit the Pickup Form.
- Give the cartridge to the Central Warehouse drivers when they see you for the pickup.
Pickup Shredding
We provide shredding service at no charge for CONFIDENTIAL University documents only. This service is NOT for recycling documents that are NOT confidential.
Before submitting a shredding request to Central Warehouse, permission to destroy state records must be granted. Visit Records Compliance for complete information. For additional information about records management, visit Connecticut Public Records Administration.
Confidential documents for shredding must be boxed, sealed, and labeled with the department name, phone, and contact person. Metal parts such as paper clips should be removed and the documents should not be in binders or part of a wire-bound notebook.
