Recycling E-waste at the Field Museum September 29, 2009

I am in charge of the e-waste recycling program as part of the IT Department and the Greener Field Committee at the Field Museum. We do recycling load-outs every quarter. Each load is about 1000 (960) cubic feet of electronic equipment; meaning we have saved 1000 (960) cubic feet of landfill space every quarter. This also equals about 3900lbs; which is about 2 (1.95) tons of recycled equipment, or alternatively, that’s about 8 tons (or 4 hippos) of equipment recycled each year. (!) Thanks to Com2 for generously donating their services for this initiative.5532_536843519342_22100549_31983172_59094_n

The UA IT Lab at the Field Museum needed some updating. I was happy to oblige. Sustainable furniture is from HON Company, and the Computers are from Dell (Dell Optiplex 160). Here are the results:
