A&T employees can dispose of university documents, personal documents and personal electronics; however, disposal of A&T electronics is prohibited.

The event promotes Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Disposal of the items collected will be handled by Proshred and Powerhouse Recycling. Waste Management Institute’s Earth & Environmental Science Club students have volunteered to assist patrons.
