Academic Technologies
 Hardware Recycling Program
Campus-wide

                               

In House Process for Barnard Staff:  Barnard has a program for recycling computer hardware, software and printers.   These items are inspected by the Academic Technologies staff.  Most computers are reconfigured and installed in campus offices as FTUs (Field Tested Units).   

The Department Head in each unit should approve the disposal of computing equipment.  If the item is not needed in your department, use the appropriate form below.  Feel free to add any additional information that will assist us.
