Look Out Below!

For the duration of the Main Elevator portion of the renovation project, those of us on the second and third floors of the Main Building are asked to be considerate of the housekeeping staff by taking any large amounts of recyclables downstairs ourselves.

What is a "large amount"? Are you getting rid of phone books? Outdated paperback manuals? Clearing out that horde of plastic bottles/microwave meal boxes/soup cans? Got a bag of newsprint used as packing material? Did you order supplies or books & have boxes? Well, all of that is large.

Here's what to do: Take your commingled and cardboard recyclables down the front stairs [College Avenue entrance] to the designated areas in the basement. It is THAT SIMPLE. Keep reading for more specific information regarding what goes in a commingled bin and what to do with the cardboard.

CARDBOARD

For those individuals and departments that take the time to break down your boxes and take them to the cardboard bin outside the Mail Room - please continue to do so. Your efforts are deeply appreciated by the housekeeping staff.

For others - there is a designated area at the base of the front stairs [College Avenue entrance]. Please break down all boxes, even the teeny-tiny ones.

Susan Hendrickson is interested in any small-to-medium sized boxes for ILL packages. Please contact her directly.
