Computer Disposal/Electronic Recycling
State Surplus Property is currently administering an Electronic Waste Recycling and Disposal Services contract, and the contract is available to other governmental entities.  This contract establishes an Electronic Recycling and Disposal program that enables state and local government entities to dispose of electronic equipment that has reached the end of its useful life, in a safe and environmentally responsible way.
 
End of Life Vehicle Solutions (ELVS)
ELVS was created by the automotive industry to promote the industry's environmental efforts in recyclability, education, and outreach, and the proper management of substances of concern.  As a first step in implementing the National Vehicle Mercury Switch Recovery Program (NVMSRP) and in cooperation with the North Dakota Department of Health, ELVS will provide vehicle recyclers with collection buckets and will pay the costs of transportation, retorting/recycling or disposal of elemental mercury from the automotive switches.  ELVS also will provide educational materials to promote vehicle recycling and proper management of mercury switches.  The ELVS program is scheduled to run until 2021 and has recovered nearly 7 tons of mercury.
