Time to spring clean your desktop of forgotten pens and markers!

If you have any dried up markers, pens, glue sticks or have empty mechanical pencils and related packaging, you can drop them in a BIC (R) Stationery Recycling Program collection box at five locations, mostly near the corner of Kirby Avenue and Oak Street.

F&S will be sending in writing utensils to be recycled by TerraCycle and will receive points for every pound sent in.

This program is free to the university and a great way to divert more from our office waste streams!
