We also recycle materials in the FUNraiser bin in the car loop. All ink and toner cartridges are recycled in the office too. Both of these collections net us money for our environmental and wellness projects. Please drop off your home items to help us.
We also recycle the milk and juice cartons in the cafeteria, which has greatly reduced the waste created.
