Some of you may have noticed the new container recycling bins in Ellis Library. Most of the bins were provided by campus recycling (some were purchased by MU Libraries awhile back). The student workers in Administrative Services will be emptying the bins each week. We may also need to call on staff volunteers to help with this effort during breaks or exams when student workers aren’t available.

Our new recycling efforts are in an early stage and adjustments can still be made. Please contact Shannon Cary or Pat Jones if you have any questions or suggestions.

Thanks to everyone who has worked to make container recycling at Ellis Library a reality, especially the members of the Greener MU Libraries Task Force, Steve Burdic (the campus recycling coordinator), Pat Jones, Mark Ellis and the Admin student workers.

Additional techno-trash containers have been placed in the Information Commons.

• One container near the east-side printers (1A, 1B) in the Information Commons

• One container next to the drinking fountain on the north wall of the east end of the Information Commons.

Techno-Trash items are:

Cell phones in any condition (or give these to Dan Dodd for Cell Phones for Soldiers)
Printer toner cartridges (any)
Batteries
Calculators
Computer parts
Videocassettes
CDs, DVDs, diskettes etc. and their cases
Flash drives

ACT (Alternative Community Training) has provided these containers and they send people in to pick up the contents. ACT then converts the “techno-trash” into usable office products and distributes them nationally through GreenDisk.

PT Martin is our contact with ACT. Questions about the program, what it accepts, etc. may be referred to her.
