BU 434’s internal Sustainability Squad recently hosted an e-waste drop-off event for employees in celebration of International E-Waste Day 2025. Collection boxes were conveniently located at the San Diego and Chula Vista hauling yards and employees were invited to drop off small electronics, batteries and lightbulbs from home and work. The Sustainability Squad once again teamed up with San Diego Urban Corps to ensure proper recycling of the materials. Way to go, team!
