Recycle Your Rechargeable Batteries and Cell Phones

                              

Call 792-4119 to request a rechargeable battery and cell phone recycling box.  You fill the box with batteries that weigh no more than 2 pounds each and old cell phones.  Call Barbara Bradham before you recycle your cell phone to erase sensitive data.  When the box is full call UPS for a free collection.  Then call 792-4119 to request a new box.  This program couldn't be more simple, so get started today!

Stop Junk Mail!

If every person at MUSC made one phone call to stop one company from sending unsolicited junk mail we could stop well over 30,000 pieces of junk mail a year.  We would also save the labor it takes the US Post Office and MUSC Post Office to sort and deliver it.  And we would save money on the labor it takes to recycle it.

Flatten your cardboard for recycling!

 

Flattened cardboard is more likely to be recycled.  It is easier for the housekeeping staff to handle and compacts better in the recycling containers.
