Computers
continued from page 1
ings for years. Technological ad
vances had made the devices obso
lete within about two years of pur
chase, Williams said.
“With the looming volume from
business and consumers coming
our way, the University of Oregon is
trying to address that before it be
comes a problem,” Williams said.
Williams said the idea for the pro
gram was sparked by a computer
and electronic equipment task force
established last fall. The task force
surveyed how other schools, such
as the University of Kansas and
Johns Hopkins University, were dis
carding computers.
Some schools were charged by
disposal agencies for removal of the
materials. But by creating its own
program that collects the equip
ment, the University is able to re
move the materials for free.
Some states, such as Massachu
setts, have banned from landfills
lead materials that can leak. And in
Oregon, legislators created two bills
to address the issue of computer
equipment clogging up landfills.
Tim Black, advocacy director with
the Office of Governmental Affairs
said House Bill 3776 would create a
task force to study the problem of
personal computer disposal.
Kaplan said initiatives like HB
3776 ideally would make computer
companies more aware that they need
to take responsibility for their prod
ucts in terms of “design, toxic material
reduction and waste reduction.”
Hewlett-Packard is one company
that has started to offer a personal
computer recycling service, charging
manufacturers only the cost of the
service, as reported in the Bloomberg
News. To combat the growing prob
lem of outdated computer equip
ment, Williams said, the Environ
mental Health and Safety program
will attempt to sweep the campus —
in a “user-friendly” — manner over
the next month. It will do this by set
ting up equipment collection days
and times for various departments.
Williams said he hopes that the
University’s program will serve as a
“model for other colleges and uni
versities in Oregon, improve envi
ronmental stewardship and give
something back to the community
that is so important for supporting
higher education in Oregon. ”
