One of the antique black light poles at the north entrance of Ellis Library was damaged during maintenance. It is down and being repaired. We are not yet sure when it will be back up.

On behalf of the Greener Libraries Committee, a reminder:
· This Saturday May 7, 2011, from 9 am – 1 pm, electronic waste will be collected on the parking lot of Home Depot, 3215 Clark Line. Smaller items may be left for free while larger materials will be taken for a small fee. Refrigerators and hazardous materials will not be accepted. This effort is being sponsored by the city, Home Depot and Mid-MO Recycling. For more information, visit this link http://bit.ly/laP76n.
· Saturday April 2, the City of Columbia once again began accepting hazardous household wastes at 1313 Lakeview Avenue and will continue to do so at this site–the lst and 3rd Saturdays of each month–through November 19, 2011. This Saturday May 7th, from 8 am – noon, is another opportunity to avail yourself of this service and rid your home and property of dangerous substances. Hazardous waste collection is available annually, spring through fall, at this collection site. If you would like to read more about this service, visit http://bit.ly/ilFbQb. See map below for location.
· There are recycling containers—certainly not for products in the hazardous category—for glass, paper, cans and plastics located in Ellis’ staff lounge and West Exit. There are also GreenDisc Techno-Trash bins located in the Information Commons, for small electronic components, cables, etc. (Full list of techno-trash items accepted by GreenDisc here: http://bit.ly/etLJLD ). By using these bins, you help keep our environment green.
Additional information will be posted on the SAC website, http://staffcouncil.missouri.edu, as it becomes available.
