Microforms

Disposing of Microforms


Campus Recycling provides a service for the confidential destruction of microfilm (definition) and microfiche (definition). Please send your microfiche or microfilm which contain confidential information to Campus Recycling in an envelope or box clearly marked "TO BE DESTROYED - MICROFORMS" and labeled with the following information: office name, name and telephone number of a contact person, and the index to be charged. If you use the standard labels from Campus Recycling, please add the word "Microform" to the label.

The microforms will be accumulated and picked up by a contracted records destruction service. There are currently no recycling alternatives for the diazo based microforms which do not contain confidential information; please dispose of these in the trash.
