R-E-C-Y-C-L-E, Find out what it means to me!

The recycling program on the Eastern Campus has been drastically improved thanks to the efforts of Nick Palumbo and Plant Operations.  Please use the marked recycling bins to dispose of paper, cardboard, plastic, glass and aluminum.  Ink jet cartridges and cell phones can also be recycled in designated campus locations.  Remind your students & colleagues to recycle!
