Under no circumstances shall recyclable materials be appropriated for personal use, or sold for personal benefit. Any suspected activity relating to personal use or sale of recyclable materials may lead to disciplinary action up to and including termination.
UCAR chooses recycling vendors that handle materials domestically in accordance with any relevant EPA or other governmental/property regulations.

All items that require a power cord or battery power supply are designated as “electronics” for the purpose of recycling.

Electronics recycling bins are located at the 3 Logistics facilities: ML, FL1, and CG3.
