Starting on Monday, August 29, and over the course of the next week or so, MU Operations will remove all wastebaskets from cubicles and private offices in Ellis Library and replace them with desk-side blue recycling bins with smaller black saddle bins that attach to the edge of the recycling bins.
When the new bins are in place, employees are to start putting recyclables into the blue bins and all other trash into the saddle bins.
They will also will place a trio of larger bins — one for plastics, aluminum and glass; one for paper; and one for trash — in central locations in each building. Employees will be responsible for sorting their own recyclables and emptying their trash into the appropriate bins.
For staff working in branch libraries, if you have not already received new bins, check with your building coordinator to see when your buidling is scheduled.
If you have any questions, please contact Pat Jones.
