Foss, City Manager " ,_ Request for Authorization to Use ECS Refining for the Recycling of City Electronic Waste and Surplus Computer Equipment Prepared by Steve Pappa, Information Systems Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City generates electronic waste in the form of surplus computers, monitors, printers and other items that have reached the end of useful life. The City strives to dispose of these items in an environmentally responsible manner. It is proposed to use ECS Refining for the recycling of electronic waste identified as beyond the useful life. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is a charge of $175.00 for pickup of the surplus computers and related electronic equipment; however there is no cost associated with the proper disposal of the items by ECS Refining. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Use of ECS Refining for the Recycling of City Electronic Waste and Surplus Computer Equipment. Submitted By Administrative Services Director DESCRIPTION: %\ Reviewed By Assistant City Manager The City generates electronic waste as a result of its annual office equipment replacement schedule. Electronic waste includes obsolete computers, monitors, printers, scanners and other inoperable office equipment. California law requires that the City safely dispose of this electronic waste. Dublin Municipal Code section 2.36.150 allows the Purchasing Agent to dispose of worn and obsolete equipment. In the past, for inventory tracking purposes, Staff has provided the City Page 1 of 2 ITEM NO. 4.5 Council with a list of assets prior to disposal. At this time, the City will be disposing of obsolete City computers and office equipment. Due to the age of the equipment, it was determined that the computers are beyond their useful life and continued use would not be desirable. The City removes all files from the computer hard drive including the operating system software. This assures the City has complied with software licensing agreements and reduces the potential for City information to exist on the hard drive before disposal. However, current best practices recommend, as a security precaution, that a professional recycler shred the hard drives and provide a certification of destruction for computer hard drives. ECS Refining of Stockton is a leader in electronics recycling and is at the forefront of environmental compliance within the recycling industry. ECS Refining is an approved Recycler for California's Electronics Recycling Act (S1320) which governs the processing of materials in laptop computers, and computer monitors. ECS Refining has the top designation of e- Steward and does not export electronic waste out of California for disposal where environmental standards may be less strict. All materials are recycled and re -enter the product manufacturing stream rather than being sent to a landfill for disposal. Incoming materials are sorted, weighed, labeled and sent to a de- manufacturing line. Computer hard drives are removed from computer cases and are shredded. The City's computer equipment to be disposed of is inoperable without additional software and based on the age may not operate at current expectations. Current disposal practice has the recycler shred all hard drives. These factors limit the potential for seeking placement for re -use with other organizations. Staff reviewed current practices among cities and most follow a similar protocol of using a certified recycler. The proposed resolution (Attachment 1) authorizes Staff to use ECS Refining for disposal of electronic waste, and directs Staff to remove the disposed assets from the City's fixed asset records. A list of the equipment is attached to the resolution as Exhibit A. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS /PUBLIC OUTREACH: None. ATTACHMENTS: 1.
