We will have our Recycle/Shred Day

in the back of the MAC parking lot. The shred truck will be departing
campus by 11:45 am. Bring your items from home and work. We are
excited to see you at Shred & Recycle Day! Elaine

are not accepted? Please do not bring any electronics, printer

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
