The Big Tech Drop-Off is almost here. It's time to clear out your cupboards and drawers and set aside any unwanted tech for drop-off.

By clearing out your old or unwanted IT equipment, you'll help give it a second life, support the local community and reduce electronic waste. You'll also be supporting the University's efforts and commitments to sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of our operations. The process is simple, secure and environmentally responsible.

Drop-off dates and locations

The collection runs for two weeks, with several convenient drop-off points across campus.

What to bring

You can drop off any unwanted IT equipment. Think of it as your chance to finally get rid of:

  • Laptops, desktops and tablets.
  • Monitors, keyboards and mice.
  • Chargers, docking stations and cables.
  • Headsets, phones and cameras.
  • Printers, scanners and AV equipment.
  • Gaming accessories and other IT kit.

If you're not sure if your item is eligible for drop-off, submit a ticket via the Self-Service Portal and we’ll let you know. If we can take it, we will.
