Do you have mercury-containing thermometers that you no longer use, but are unsure of how to dispose of them? Well we now have a solution for you! JMU's Housekeeping and Recycling is sponsoring the first ever Mercury Thermometer Round-up. What: Intact Mercury containing thermometers which have been placed in a plastic bag or other type of secondary containment. Please make sure the Mercury is intact and not leaking or loose. The mercury has to be contained. When: Tuesday November 24th from 9:00AM- 11:00AM. Where: Shed behind the housekeeping trailer, in the USB parking lot on West Grace St. By bringing us your Mercury thermometers you can ensure they are properly disposed of and therefore do not end up in the landfill.
JMU Recycling has taken the next step in continuing its efforts to operate as environmentally friendly as possible. "GO GREEN" As you can see above, our new Hybrid diesel trash truck and our electric truck. Both vehicles are used to collect recycling on campus. 2009 Football Season "Get In The Game" "Recycle" JMU Recycling is asking for your support in keeping the parking lots and fields used for tailgating clean this year by recycling your aluminum, glass and plastic. There will be signs letting everyone know where and how to help out. So be looking for the recycling containers out there this year and "Get In The Game" RECYCLE! |
