Recycle your electronics AND unwanted sneakers

Recycle your unwanted SNEAKERS this EARTH Week in the collection bins at Upper and Lower Campus carpool Monday, April 21 through Friday, April 25. Keep your kicks out of the landfill!
To recycle your electronics (cables, monitors, gaming equipment, computers, printers, and much more), place them in the bins provided. NO TELEVISIONS accepted. Click here to view a complete list of accepted items.
