“Paper Only” recycling bins have been conviently placed in the hallways throughout the three campuses. It is staff’s responsibility to empty their desk side container into the larger bin in the hall.

Break the cardboard down and leave it in the hallway for pick up. If you will have an excess amount of cardboard, please call ext. 101A for a special pick up.

The bin to recycle Hewitt Packer toner cartridges is located on the first floor of the East Peoria Campus near Room 104, or send it in Campus Mail to 101A and we will take care of it. Konic Minolta toner cartridges go to the Mail Room to be sent back to the company to recycle.
