Florida A&M University is working to try and cut down that amount, via the FAMU Environmental Health & Safety department, which tries to ensure the correct disposal of all old cell phones and other forms of electrical equipment used on campus.  \u201cThe university currently has an arrangement with Goodwill Industries to accept and process for recycling a wide range of electronic waste generated on campus,\u201d says FAMU\u2019s hazardous materials manager and senior environmental specialist, Ryan Mitchell.  \u201cWe try to avoid sending any e-waste to the landfill.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe get a continuous stream of undesired electronics from FAMU,\u201d concurs Brooke Lochure, the vice president of public relations for the Big Bend area for Goodwill.  \u201cFAMU has just been a brilliant partner.  FAMU was our second, and they are an absolute pleasure to work with, and they just call us when they have undesired electronics.\u201d Goodwill also currently recycles electrical equipment sent from Gulf Coast Community College, TCC, Leon County Schools and buildings and residents of Tallahassee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
