1. RecycleMania 2008 - Get in the Game!
Once again, Stony Brook University has entered RecycleMania - a nationwide recycling contest among 400 colleges and universities. From January 27th - April 5th, SBU will be in a competition to see who can recycle the most and landfill the least.
Help us make a strong showing by recycling all your paper, corrugated cardboard, books, periodicals, and bottles/cans. To see what you can recycle, please reference:
http://www.stonybrook.edu/facilities/cs/recycling/
Consider cleaning out your office files and shelves! Contact the Recycling Department at 2-9297 to request large 96 gallon bins. Better yet, encourage the entire Department to participate in an office clean up day. Doing so will free up more space for use, and it's great for the environment! You Recycle, We all Win!
