The day-long event will be at the ESEC Building and includes a host of excellent topics/speakers... plus even a free lunch for any MCC Employees!!  Everyone is welcome to attend!!

**PD is also available to some MCC Faculty, though you will need to check with your supervisor first.  In the same spirit, all employees should check with their supervisors concerning time-clocks and hours.**

Common questions…

• How do I use the Freecycle/reuse table?  Bring something and take anything you want from the Freecycle table.  This is a sustainable concept to share “stuff” we no longer need or want.  So, please de-clutter your space and help us keep good stuff out of a landfill at the same time! Drop off clean, working items that you no longer need.  Any leftover items will be donated to Goodwill or another local charity. If you have items to donate, contact Elaine Fagner at efagner@mclennan.edu or 299-8442 to get those items to the Sustainability Committee or bring them by 8:00 am to the event.
• Will my items be shredded on campus?  Shredding does not take place at MCC, and we do not receive a formal document of destruction.  That service costs additional money.  We do receive confirmation that the paper items were shredded upon receipt by by our shredding vendor.
• Where do I take Glass to recycle? Cobbs Convenience Center accepts plastic, aluminum and other metal, cardboard, paper, and corrugated box material from anyone, including those living outside the Waco area.  Glass is accepted only from anyone - you do not have to live in Waco to take your glass to Cobbs.  Cobbs Convenience Center is located at 2021 North 44th Street and is open Tuesday through Saturday (8 am - 5 pm) to drop off your materials free of charge.  For a map to the site and more details go to:http://www.waco-texas.com/solid-waste-recycling.asp
