The Daily Bulletin Archive

In each main department, copy room, and mail room, red bins are available for the recycling of electronic media, such as printer and toner cartridges, VHS and cassette tapes, CDs, DVDs, and batteries.

Custodians empty full red bins into a larger yellow bin in each building. When yellow bins are full, Business Services replaces them with empty yellow bins. This program has been in place since 2006, and the campus has seen a steady growth in the program as participation has become habit within the departments.

In 2011, 5,957 pounds of electronic media were collected. This increased in 2012 to 9,964 pounds, and so far in 2013, a total of 4,262 pounds has been collected and recycled.
