What are we doing?
ResNet started a recycling program in our office/labs for paper, cans and plastics in April 2007.
Now we would like to extend that to recycling old electronics for EKU students!
Why do this?
The Institute for Local Self-Reliance estimates that 75% of obsolete electronics are currently being stored, which will one day result in a massive disposal issue for the country and the world.
So...help us be proactive and start recycling that old DVD player, cell phone and laptop that stopped working last semester.
Just bring it by our office or take the short drive to (map at bottom of page):
