Recycle your phone books

The new phone books have arrived, and the Office of Campus Sustainability would like to offer this friendly reminder to please recycle your old phone books. They are collecting them in a large green tote located near the elevator in Bridges Hall.

Also, the Office of Campus Sustainability is testing a pilot project whereby a team of students are now responsible for emptying the blue recycling bins. As such, they will not have keys to individual offices. If you have a white office paper recycling box at your desk, please help us by emptying it into one of the blue bins in the hallway.  This box may also be used for other recyclables such as newspapers, magazines, cans and bottles. If you have any questions about recycling, or need an additional recycling box, please contact me at Joe.Herbst@mnstate.edu.

A couple other housekeeping items in regards to recycling at MSUM:

  1. Cardboard and paperboard boxes: please empty the trash from these boxes, flatten them, and tuck them behind the blue recycling bins.
  2. Plastic bottles: please remove the caps and drain any excess fluid before depositing into the recycling containers.

We appreciate your cooperation, and thank you for recycling!
