The University is taking a lead among the State's educational institutions by contracting E-Cycle Recovery at Gepps Cross to recycle any obsolete and unwanted electronic items instead of disposing them in landfill.

The items included more than 10.5 tonnes of copper, steel and aluminium, and close to one tonne of lead from 300 televisions and computer monitors, which can cause health and environmental problems when buried in landfill. [Full Story]
