  • Bring your used printer catridges for recycling

Visit our tables in both student centers to learn more about recycling here and around the country. Tables are in the lobby of Woodbury Campus Center in Portland near the eatery entrance and Brooks Student Center in Gorham on the second level near the Dining Hall entrance.

Head to the America Recycles Day website and take the pledge to learn more about recycling, and recycle a new thing every month. Commit to recycle more of what you throw away, throw away less, and buy products made from recycled materials!
