E-Cycle Day
An annual electronics recycling drop-off held each fall
Each fall, we collaborate with Sunnking to hold E-Cycle Day. Members of the University community can drop off old, broken, or unwanted electronic items from home to be disposed of conveniently, safely, and securely. Since 2008, more than 225 tons of electronics have been recycled.

Stay tuned for the 20th annual E-Cycle Day event in the fall of 2027!
What to bring
Computers, monitors, printers, scanners, TVs, cellphones and chargers, tablets, audio and video equipment, microwaves, and more. Check out Sunnking’s list of acceptable items.
Note: Departmental equipment is not accepted at this event. Learn about recycling University-owned electronics.
How do I get there?
E-Cycle Day is located in the parking lot of the Alumni and Advancement Center at 300 E. River Rd. Please refer to the South Campus map to help you find the correct event location.
If you are traveling by car from River Campus or the Medical Center, follow these directions:
- Head south on Kendrick Road until you reach the traffic circle.
- At the traffic circle, take the first exit to turn right onto East River Road.
- Turn left into the Alumni and Advancement Center drive and immediately turn right to go behind the building.
- Follow the posted signs to drop off your electronics and proceed to the exit.
Missed E-Cycle Day?
Save items to drop off at the next event. Or, head to EcoPark, a year-round recycling collection program offered through a partnership with Monroe County and Waste Management.
University employees can also take advantage of the University’s IT Equipment Recovery Program, which securely recycles University-owned consumer or personal electronics for free.
