Rewind, reuse, recycle
Wylie. Photo: UVic Photo Services Stephen Wylie, UVic’s surplus asset coordinator, shows off surplus recording media before it is shipped to a local recycling facility. The kinds of media that can be recycled include hard drives, cell phones, PDAs, cameras, computer tape reels, audio cassettes, video tapes, CDs and DVDs, floppy discs and voice recorder tapes. For data security, all recorded media are shredded prior to recycling. Since taking up his new position in UVic’s purchasing department two years ago, Wylie has expanded the scope of the campus electronic recycling program and held regular on-campus and online sales of surplus assets. “I take things that other people think have no value, and find their residual value—either by discovering a new use for them or recycling them,” he says. Wylie can be contacted at swylie@uvic.ca.
