Help OSU win RECYCLEMANIA 2017.  There are only 2 weeks to go in the RecycleMania competition, and right now OSU is LOSING to U-O! OSULP staff help reverse this by making sure any recyclables in our office areas get into the bins that Campus Recycling empties every week. Here are some specific tasks: 

• Right now!  Go empty your green recycle bin into the closest large recycling container (your green office bin is not emptied by campus recycling staff or campus custodial staff – it is your responsibility to transfer the contents). Make sure to sort if you mix materials in the green bin!
• Get departmental materials slated for recycling into the closest large recycling container.
• Check the campus recycling guide for other materials you can recycle on campus.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“I grew up in libraries, and I hope I've learned never to take them for granted. A thriving library is the heart of its community, providing access to information and educational opportunities, bringing people together, leveling the playing field, and archiving our history.”
