Monday, February 08, 2010 0 comments Office Recycling: Walk the Walk to the Hallway Posted by: Arnica Rowan at 11:21:13 AM The Good News! OC employees are recycling more, and throwing less in the garbage. More Good News! Now all recyclables go into one bin, which means less hassle for everyone. No more sorting, except for refundable drink containers. The Challenge: Getting our increased volume of recyclables picked up and out the door for processing. Help us out by Walking the Walk – please take your office recyclables to the bin in your hallway. Your important contribution enables us to keep our offices and hallways tidy, put less waste in the landfill, and support a more sustainable college community. Tip: Pick a day of the week that works for you, walk your recyclables to the hallway, and make it a habit. Thanks so much for your on-going help. Your little recycling bin goes a long way.
