How does it all work?

One of many Multibins located around the UC Davis campus
Table Of Contents

The Multibin is for the collection of electronic waste, or e-waste, which contains toxins that leach into the soil and groundwater. It is illegal to throw away batteries and cell phones, the Multibin is the perfect solution for getting rid of your old electronics!

Materials We Accept: CDs, Inkjet Cartridges, Electronic Devices, and Batteries.

You can also send us CDs, inkjet cartridges, and electronic devices through inter-campus mail. Place them in an inter-campus mail envelope addressed to Lin King at R4 Recycling.

To send us batteries through inter-campus mail, you can request a Desktop Battery Bin here .

We currently do not recycle light bulbs of ANY kind. Please contact the Work Order Desk at 752-1655 for light bulb disposal.
