# E-waste

Electronic waste, also known as e-waste, includes items such as computers, phone systems, cabling and other office electronics that are ready for disposal.

Seneca collaborates with a recycling electronics company in Ontario to divert this waste from landfills safely and securely and upcycle the materials into valuable products. E-waste bins are located across the four main campuses to collect items for recycling.
