25-49 - Sustainable IT Management and Electronics Collection Events

The City of Ann Arbor is seeking qualified IT-disposition firms to support its electronics collection program. This program aligns with strategy 5 of the City’s A2ZERO Carbon Neutrality Plan: change the way we use, reuse, and dispose of materials. Electronics collection events provide an opportunity for the Ann Arbor community to sustainably and ethically dispose of unwanted electronic devices. This prevents electronics from becoming waste by facilitating reuse, refurbishment/repair, and—as a last resort—recycling of these devices.

Initially, this program began with a pilot of three collection events in fiscal year 2025. With the successful completion of this pilot program, the City is now looking to expand the program to facilitate a more robust local technology reuse and recycling stream. The City is seeking to contract with a qualified IT-disposition firm to host more frequent electronics collection events in multiple formats to increase impact and accessibility to this program.
