January is Digital Cleanup Month

From 6 to 31 January, the University of Tartu will have its first Digital Cleanup Month. The university invites everyone to dedicate at least 30 minutes every week to get rid of digital waste and tidy up their personal or their unit’s digital space.
According to Joonas Masing, Project Manager of the University of Tartu’s Digital Cleanup Month and Content Manager of the Information Technology Office, the cleanup campaign will run for the whole month as this gives more time to clean up the digital waste alongside the daily duties. “The impact of getting rid of the waste is best felt when you delete large and unnecessary files,” said Masing.
The university invites staff and students to clean up different types of digital waste every week:
- 6–10 January – organise your computer and documents;
- 13–17 January – clean up your smart device;
- 20–24 January – check and clean your email inbox;
- 27–31 January – check and clean your cloud services and other environments (OneDrive, Moodle, Panopto, BBB, Mahara, Sisu@UT, LimeSurvey).
Information on how to clean up a specific type of waste will be published on the university website and the intranet at the beginning of every week.
All registered participants in Digital Cleanup Month can enter a raffle for exciting gifts from the university’s gift shop.
General principles for reducing digital waste
- Before buying a new device, consider whether you really need it.
- If a device does not work properly or is out of date, don’t buy a new one immediately but have it repaired.
- If you no longer need your old device, don’t leave it in a drawer, but consider donating, selling or recycling it.
- Choose an energy-efficient product that has a long lifespan and is made from sustainable materials.
- Use cloud services, as storing data in the cloud reduces the need for physical storage space.
- Reduce unnecessary data storage.
Bins for unnecessary external data carriers

In cooperation with the Estates Office, the IT Office has placed special digital waste bins in the university’s academic buildings (Nooruse 1, Ravila 14a, Ravila 19, W. Ostwaldi 1, Riia 23, Jakobi 2, Jakobi 5, Lossi 36, Ülikooli 18, Narva mnt 18, Uppsala 10, Vanemuise 46, J. Liivi 2, Lossi 3, Näituse 2, Näituse 20, W. Struve 1, Ujula 4 and Ülikooli 17) The bins are meant for unnecessary external data carriers: flash drives, floppy disks, CDs and DVDs, smart cards, cassettes, and old video and audio tapes.
Please do not put hard drives, phones and other electronic devices in the digital waste bins.
The labelled bins will be available in the study buildings from 6 January to 3 February.
