Tulane University computers can be recycled through the Property Management Office. The computers are logged out and are first made available to other Tulane offices. Computers that cannot be re-used on campus are recycled by the Capital Area Corporate Recycling Council, a Baton Rouge non-profit that distributes many to schools. If you have sensitive financial, patient-records, or student-records data on your computer, please contact the Tulane Help Desk at 862-8888 to schedule someone to remove the information from the computer before it is recycled.

Uptown Campus
On the uptown campus, Tulane Recycling provides pick-up service for computer recycling to uptown campus offices. Two days a month, recycling staff will pick up computers from offices that have placed requests in advance through the Servicewave.Tulane.edu website. To request a pick up of computers for recycling, visit the Servicewave.Tulane.edu web site and complete a work request. In the request box write "Recycle Computers" and indicate the number and type of computers and peripherals to be picked up. You will receive an email indicating that your service request has been accepted. Recycling staff will call you one or two days in advance of your pickup. Please note that it may take several weeks for your equipment to be picked up and recycled. Current computer recycling pickup days are the first and third Monday of each month.

Downtown Campus
From the downtown campus, computers, computer peripherals, and surplus office furniture can be brought to the Property Management Office on Maple Street. Let them know you are coming by calling 865-5219. To have the computer equipment picked up at your downtown campus location and moved to Property Management, submit an IT to Facilities Services with the account number and department head signature. Make sure the IT contains what you need moved, where is is currently located and where you want it taken. It must also contain a contact name and phone number. Your department will be charged on a time and material basis for the move. If you have any questions about the IT call 988-5424 (Facilities Services).


Home office computers and equipment (those not owned by Tulane) are not eligible for this program. The Green Project and the post-Katrina household hazardous waste collection programs provide electronics recycling to area residents.

Before it's time to recycle, remember that enabling monitor power management significantly reduces the environmental impact of your computer over its life.
