America Recycles Day is Friday, November 15. This is a nationwide program organized by Keep America Beautiful to help Americans learn to recycle correctly. Find events, drop off locations, and a recycling pledge at AmericarRecyclesDay.org
The CWRU Office of Energy & Sustainability is helping our campus community participate in America Recycles Day by collecting hard to recycle items.
Find our table in the Tink atrium between 10:00am - 2:00pm to recycle end of life shoes, small electronics and more - see list below! Shoes will go to TerraCycle and everything else will go to the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District’s drop off site, where any County resident can also drop off items during their posted office hours. Here's the full list of what you can bring this Friday:
