Avoid wasting electricity
The IU Energy Challenge invites members of the IU Bloomington community to compete to conserve the most electricity and water in three divisions: residence halls and apartment complexes, Greek houses, and academic buildings. Avoid wasting paperPrint only what is necessary. Share information electronically, and read on the screen when you can. If you need a hard copy, finish editing first rather than printing early drafts, and print on the fewest number of pages possible. For more, see Conserve paper when printing. Recycle any unwanted paper; at IUB and IUPUI, recycling bins are available in most buildings, and all Student Technology Centers and Residential Technology Centers. Dispose of old equipment responsiblyComputers, monitors, and other peripheral devices frequently contain toxic materials, such as lead and mercury; thus, you should never throw old equipment in a landfill. In addition, Indiana law prohibits the disposal of electronics in the trash; see Indiana Regulations Affecting Electronic Waste. Departmental equipmentFor proper disposal of computer equipment and other electronic waste owned by IU, see Departmental disposal of old equipment at IU. Personal equipmentResidents of Monroe County, Indiana, can take their unwanted personal electronics to the Monroe County Solid Waste Management District's Hazardous Materials Facility. Although most items can be recycled for free, some require a fee. For information about specific items, fees, locations, and hours of operation, see:
If you have questions, call the Monroe County Indiana Solid Waste Management District (The District) at 812-349-2020. At IUB, many residence halls and buildings on campus have ways for you to recycle cell phones, used toner cartridges, and old batteries. Several of these programs allow for the items to be remanufactured and used again, extending their lives and avoiding the landfill altogether. Campus housing residents can ask their center desks for information. In the IMU, there is an eco-cell dropbox for working or non-working cell phones located on the southwest side of the main level near the literature desks. For more, see the US Environmental Protection Agency's Sustainable Management of Electronics, including the guide to Electronics Donation and Recycling.
